🚨Luka Modric on Lionel Messi Deserving the World Cup Golden Ball:

🗣️ “You can’t decide the Golden Ball in a World Cup just because of a single match. This is embarrassing.

Messi has performed so well throughout this entire tournament. Even though he didn’t win the World Cup, he deserves the Golden Ball.

He carried Argentina, created chances out of nothing, and was the best player on the pitch in almost every game. One final doesn’t erase everything he did before that.

I’ve seen many World Cups, but the way they’re treating this feels completely wrong. You don’t ignore months of brilliance and hand it to someone else just because of one game.

Messi has been the standout player of the tournament by a distance. If that’s not enough to win the Golden Ball, then I don’t know what is anymore.”

Pep Guardiola on why Lionel Messi broke down in tears after the final whistle against Spain in the FIFA World Cup final.

🗣️ “The whole world thought Leo was crying because Argentina had lost the World Cup. They were wrong. I know him better than most people. Those tears came from somewhere much deeper. They were the tears of a little boy who realized the dream he had lived for more than twenty years might have ended forever.”

“The moment I saw him standing there, I couldn’t watch anymore. I picked up my phone and called him. He answered, but he couldn’t speak. All I could hear was his breathing. We stayed in silence for what felt like forever because sometimes pain is too big for words.”

“When he finally spoke, he said, ‘Míster… it’s not the defeat that’s breaking me. I can accept losing. What I can’t accept is that this may have been the last time I ever wore the Argentina shirt. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.’ I completely broke down when I heard those words.”

“I told him, ‘Leo, listen to me. Millions of people aren’t crying because Argentina lost. They’re crying because they know they may never see you wear that shirt again. They grew up with you. They celebrated with you. They suffered with you. Tonight, they’re mourning the end of an era.’”

“He spent more than two decades carrying that badge with unbelievable pride. He gave Argentina his childhood, his youth, his best football and even the final years of his career. There was nothing left for him to give. He left every piece of his heart on that pitch.”

“I said to him, ‘Don’t ever apologize. Don’t ever think you failed your country. The only reason this hurts so much is because you loved Argentina more than anyone could ever ask. That’s not failure that’s the purest form of love.’”

“I’ve coached the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen, but that night I wasn’t speaking to a footballer. I was speaking to a man whose heart had been shattered because he believed his final chapter with Argentina had been written. That pain is something no trophy, no speech and no applause can ever heal.”

“One day, people will remember who won that World Cup. But those of us who love football will also remember another image forever Lionel Messi standing in tears, not because he stopped loving football, but because football was asking him to say goodbye to the country he loved more than anything in the world.

Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.

🗣️ “People keep asking me how Messi is still doing this at 39 years old. My answer is simple because football has never seen anyone like him. Age defeats everyone, but somehow it refuses to defeat Lionel Messi. What he did tonight was beyond football… it was art.”

“England didn’t play against an old player. They played against the greatest mind this sport has ever produced. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, controlling the rhythm of the biggest match on earth as if he were playing in his backyard. That is not normal. It is impossible to teach.”

“I’ve stood on the touchline and watched Leo do things that left me speechless. Tonight, sitting at home, he made me feel exactly the same. Every touch had purpose. Every pass carried danger. Every decision was perfect. He didn’t run the most but he made everyone else run for him.”

“The frightening part is that he no longer needs his young legs. His football brain is ten seconds ahead of everyone else. By the time defenders realise what is happening, the ball is already in the back of the net or a teammate is celebrating. That’s genius. Pure genius.”

“People obsess over goals, but tonight Messi reminded the world that football is about creating moments no one else can imagine. Two assists that changed a nation’s history. Two passes that carried Argentina into another World Cup final. That is the definition of greatness.”

“At 39, most legends are sitting in television studios talking about football. Messi is still writing football history. He isn’t surviving at this level he’s dominating it. That’s why I will always say there has never been, and there will never be, another player like Lionel Messi.”

“When this World Cup is over, don’t just remember the trophies or the statistics. Remember that you witnessed a 39-year-old genius walk into a World Cup semi-final against one of the strongest teams in the world… and make them look ordinary. We are watching the final chapters of the greatest football story ever written.”

🚨🗣️David Beckham sobre la derrota 2:1 de Inglaterra ante Argentina, dice que Messi es el MEJOR Jugador de todos los tiempos:

“El fútbol tiene una forma poética de completar sus propias historias. Inglaterra una vez vio la Mano de Dios… esta noche, presenció el Pie Izquierdo de Dios. Messi no solo jugó el partido, lo dirigió como un maestro liderando una orquesta. Cada toque era una frase, cada pase era una obra maestra, y esas dos asistencias fueron pinceladas en el lienzo más grande del fútbol.

La gente pasa sus carreras persiguiendo la grandeza. Messi ha pasado su carrera redefiniéndola. Cuando la presión alcanza su punto más alto, él se convierte en el hombre más calmado en el estadio. Ese es un don que no puedes entrenar, no puedes comprar, y ciertamente no puedes defenderte contra él.

He jugado con y contra algunos de los mejores jugadores que este deporte ha visto jamás, pero lo que Lionel Messi sigue haciendo en el escenario más grande está más allá de las estadísticas, es un legado escrito en tiempo real. Noches como esta no son solo victorias; son capítulos en la historia del fútbol.

Para mí, el debate ha terminado. Lionel Messi no es solo uno de los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos… es el mejor jugador de todos los tiempos.”

🚨England Captain Harry Kane on Jude Bellingham approach Messi:

🎙️Reporter: “Harry, what did you make of Jude Bellingham’s approach to Messi during the match?”

🗣️Harry Kane: “I told Jude, you don’t have to approach Messi like that. You can’t wake the beast in him and expect nothing to happen. The moment you give him that extra motivation, he’ll punish you. That’s exactly what we saw. Against players like Messi, sometimes the smartest thing you can do is stay disciplined and not give them a reason to raise their level.”

[ᜰ @markklfc]

Thomas Tuchel on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.

🗣️ “I’ve coached against some of the greatest footballers in history, but nights like this remind you why Lionel Messi is different. We prepared for him all week. We had plans, we had markers, we had instructions… and none of it was enough. He punished us with two moments of absolute genius.”

“You can stop him for 85 minutes, but Messi only needs five seconds to destroy everything you’ve built. That’s what happened tonight. Two assists, no panic, no wasted movement just pure football intelligence. He doesn’t force the game. He waits… and when you make one mistake, you’re dead.”

“I was shouting from the touchline because I knew the danger every time he received the ball. My players knew it too. Yet knowing what Messi is capable of and actually stopping him are two completely different things. He sees passes that nobody else in world football even imagines.”

“People talk about speed and strength. Messi doesn’t need either. His brain is faster than every defender on the pitch. He dictates the tempo, manipulates space and tears teams apart without looking like he’s trying. That is what true greatness looks like.”

“As painful as this defeat is for England, I refuse to lie. We were beaten by a footballer who continues to redefine the game at 39 years old. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, carrying his country into another final… that’s not normal. That’s history unfolding in front of your eyes.”

“Sometimes, as a coach, you have to accept an uncomfortable truth. We didn’t just lose to Argentina we lost to Lionel Messi. And if he plays the final like he played tonight, the rest of the world should be very worried.”

🚨Zinedine Zidane on France eliminating Paraguay from the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “This will be heartbreaking for Paraguay. When you come this close to taking one of the biggest teams in world football to the limit and still walk away eliminated, the pain is impossible to describe.

I thought they defended with courage, they competed in every duel and they never stopped believing. They made France work for every opportunity, and for long periods they looked like a team capable of causing a major upset.

These are the nights that remind you how cruel football can be. You spend months preparing, you give absolutely everything for your country, and then one moment changes your entire tournament.

But I hope this group does not leave with their heads down. They have represented Paraguay with pride, discipline and character. They have shown the world that they can compete with the very best, and that is something their supporters should never forget.

France move on because they found the decisive moment, but Paraguay leave this World Cup with respect. Sometimes football rewards the winner, but it also remembers the team that refused to give up. Paraguay fought until the final whistle, and they deserve enormous credit for that.”

🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.

When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.

People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.

This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.

Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”

🚨📣 El arquero caboverdiano habla sobre lo que le dijo a Messi después del partido:

"Me acerqué a él, y ni siquiera tuve tiempo de decir mucho, cuando él me abrazó directamente y dijo: 'Buen trabajo. Eres un portero increíble. Tu gente debe estar muy orgullosa de ti.' Escuchar eso de alguien como Leo significa mucho para mí."

"Le di las gracias y respondí: 'Gracias, Leo. Tú eres el mejor.' Luego le pedí su camiseta del partido, él sonrió y dijo: 'Por supuesto. Te la daré en el túnel de vestuarios.' Momentos como este los recordaré toda la vida." ❤️🇨🇻🇦🇷

[Somos Madridistas 👑 @Mundo_MadridCF]

¡HICIMOS FAMOSA A LA PERSONA CORRECTA!

Esto pasó minutos después de que Cabo Verde quedara fuera del Mundial.

Le preguntaron a Vozinha qué se llevaba de la Copa del Mundo. El arquero de 40 años, antes de todo, se quitó el sombrero ante Argentina: “Son un equipazo. Por algo son los campeones del mundo”.

Pero lo que rompió a todos fue esto:

“Estoy orgulloso. Para un país chiquito como Cabo Verde, llegar al Mundial y meternos a octavos… es un sueño. En casa nos están viendo. Están felices. Esto va para ellos, para cada caboverdiano. Jugamos con el corazón. Sin miedo. Hoy nos toca perder, pero este camino no se borra nunca. Ahora el mundo ya sabe dónde queda Cabo Verde. Tengo 40 años y juro que este es el mejor momento de mi vida”.

IMPOSIBLE NO QUEBRARSE. 🇨🇻

[MatchReport @MatchReportH]

🚨🇵🇾 Zlatan Ibrahimović: “Paraguay Didn’t Make History—They Took It.”

“People love to talk about history, but history doesn’t protect you when the whistle blows. Germany arrived carrying four World Cups, decades of success and a reputation that intimidates almost every opponent. Paraguay didn’t care about any of that. They came to write their own chapter, and now they will be remembered as the first nation ever to eliminate Germany on penalties in a World Cup knockout match. That is not luck—that is courage.”

“Everyone expected Germany to find a way. They had the possession, they had the chances, they even thought they had found the winning goal before VAR took it away. Then came the penalty shootout, where pressure separates men from legends. Paraguay never blinked. They stood there, looked Germany in the eye and refused to surrender. That’s the mentality I respect more than anything.”

“People will spend days debating the VAR decision or the missed penalty, but football doesn’t remember excuses. It remembers winners. Paraguay didn’t ask for sympathy, they didn’t ask anyone to believe in them. They earned everything with discipline, sacrifice and absolute belief. Every tackle, every block, every save and every penalty carried the weight of a nation that refused to accept defeat.”

“I also have to give enormous credit to Orlando Gill. Goalkeepers dream of nights like this. He gave his defenders confidence, frustrated Germany for 120 minutes and then became even bigger in the shootout. Those are performances that change careers forever. The entire back line defended like warriors because they trusted the man behind them.”

“This victory is bigger than reaching the next round. Generations of Paraguayan players will grow up knowing that this team achieved something no other country had ever done. They stood on the biggest stage in football and defeated Germany in a World Cup penalty shootout. That record belongs to Paraguay forever. Nobody can erase it.”

“Germany will recover because great football nations always do. But tonight belongs to Paraguay. They didn’t beat Germany with fear, they beat them with belief. And when a small football nation believes harder than a giant, history changes. That’s exactly what happened tonight.”

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:

“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.

Not because he's my friend.

Not because of nostalgia.

Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.

I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.

It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.

One step to the left, defenders follow.

One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.

One glance over his shoulder panic.

That's not football.

That's psychological warfare.

And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.

They don't understand what they're watching.

Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.

He's Argentina's system.

He's their confidence.

He's their belief.

He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.

People ask me about the GOAT debate.

What debate?
Seriously.

What debate?

For me, there isn't one.

The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.

When I watch football, I don't see a debate.

I see Messi.

Then I see everybody else.

That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.

It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.

And today was another reminder.

He didn't need a hat-trick.

He didn't need to score from 40 yards.

He just needed to be Lionel Messi.

And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.

That's greatness.

Not when everything depends on you.

When everybody becomes better because you're there.

I've played against great players.

I've played with great players.

But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:

'This isn't normal.'

The scary thing?

Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.

And they still can't stop it.

That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.

Some players become legends.

Some players become icons.

Messi became a category of his own.

And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”

Paredes tenía 11 años
De Paul tenía 11 años
Julian Alvarez tenía 5 años
Y Cuti Romero tenía 7 años

Eso es Messi.

Every truly just society is built upon the recognition of the inviolable dignity of the human person. Such dignity precedes any concession by the State and cannot be subordinated to shifting social consensus. It belongs to every human being by the very fact of their existence, and for this reason, it must guide every positive legal system. When this conviction remains alive, the law becomes a safeguard for all and a guarantee against the imposition of particular interests and agendas. #ApostolicJourney
