In 2022, he could have faced Brazil in the semi-final but Brazil lost to Croatia.
In 2010, he could have faced England in the quarter-finals but England lost to Germany.
In 2014, he could have faced Portugal in the Round of 16 but Portugal got knocked out in the group stage.
Italy didn’t even make it out of the group stage the last time they were in the World Cup
Meanwhile, Messi advanced to the next round in all of these stages while the people he was supposed to play against didn’t
So how was any of this Messi’s fault?
El tema es así: Portugal fue perjudicado porque en su grupo estaba el poderoso Colombia, mientras que Argentina fue beneficiado porque en cuartos debería enfrentarse al débil Colombia.
Messi played against the Netherlands 🇳🇱, Croatia 🇭🇷, and France 🇫🇷 in 2022 and still won the World Cup. Now it’s Ronaldo’s turn to face them, and his fans are already crying. Keep crying your hearts out 😂😂.
Lionel Messi is the first player to score in SEVEN consecutive World Cup matches, a run that goes back to Argentina’s Round of 16 game against Australia in 2022.
