Angel Di Maria :

“Honestly, I hate it when people say I carried Messi or Argentina. That’s completely unfair. Messi is the greatest player of all time. He doesn’t need anyone to carry him. He built his legacy through his talent, hard work, and everything he has achieved over the years.

We were fortunate to play alongside him and help the team, but what he has done for football and for Argentina is something no one can take away from him. His legacy belongs to him.”

🚨 “The Biggest Mistake You Can Make Is Making Messi Angry” — Sergio Ramos Ahead of WC Final 🇪🇸🇦🇷

🎙️Reporter: Sergio, a World Cup final against Argentina—how do you see this one?

Sergio Ramos🗣️:It’s going to be a very tough one, no doubt about that. We’re talking about a team full of mentality monsters—players who don’t give up, who believe until the very last second. And then… they have Lionel Messi.

At 39, it’s unbelievable… he’s still the best player in the world. That alone tells you everything about the challenge ahead.

🎙️Reporter: Do you think Spain has what it takes to stop him?

Sergio Ramos🗣️:I trust Luis de la Fuente completely. He knows how to prepare a team for moments like this. But let me be honest—the biggest mistake you can make is making Messi angry.

I’ve suffered it for years whenever I faced Barcelona. I know exactly what happens when he switches into that mode. The main assignment for us was always simple—how to hold him down. But in reality… it’s never simple.

🎙️Reporter: You’ve faced him many times. What made it so difficult?

Sergio Ramos🗣️:Every week in training, we prepared just to stop him. Me and Pepe hated it, because you can do everything right… and still fail.

Pepe used to say, “Just take him out at first sight.” But that’s when the real problem starts. Because once Messi feels that… he turns into something else. A beast you simply can’t handle anymore.

🎙️Reporter: What did you think about the Messi and Jude Bellingham incident?

Sergio Ramos🗣️:I was watching that game, and immediately I turned to my wife and said, “The game is finished.”

Honestly, if Bellingham knew the crime he had committed, he wouldn’t have done it. Because with just minutes to the final whistle, England witnessed the craziest version of Messi.

🎙️Reporter: Were you surprised by that comeback?

Sergio Ramos🗣️:Not at all. He’s the greatest of all time. What surprises me isn’t that he did it… it’s how he’s still doing it at 39.

Against Messi, it’s never over. And that’s why this final will be decided by the smallest moment.

🚨🗣️ De la Fuente (Spain coach):

"Messi and Lamine are both exceptional players, but there's no comparison between them right now. Lamine is a wonderful talent, but we're talking about Messi, a name that stands above everyone else.

Because Messi has a career that no player in football history has ever achieved.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔥 Leo Messi: “They can say whatever they want. We compete, we fight, we also play well, look how we played today dominating England while we were losing…”.

“I am proud, and happy to make all argentinians happy”.

🚨 Lionel Messi: “To the fans, I say the same thing I said in Qatar… enjoy it”.

“This team will NEVER let you down”.

🚨🗣️ Angel Di Maria: "We can't ask anything more of them (the Argentinian squad)."

"The only thing we can do is thank them every single day of our lives for what they've done for football and for the Argentinian people."

"We've had five or six years of glory, passion, and unforgettable moments, and it's all thanks to you."

"A generation of players who truly understood what it means to wear the Argentina jersey, who didn't crack under the weight of the burden that had been carried for so many years."

"I just want to say thank you so much for reaching another final and for everything you give to the Argentinian people."

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ Leo Messi: "It's been almost a YEAR since I've been preparing for this World Cup, honestly."

"I spent December in Argentina, training in the morning and afternoon, non-stop."

🚨Lionel Messi was asked why he was emotional after Argentina’s victory over England to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.

🎙️ Reporter: “Leo, we saw you in tears after the final whistle. Why did this one mean so much?”

🗣️ Lionel Messi:

“Because this wasn’t an easy match. During the game, I could hear them telling each other, ‘Double up on him… go for his legs… don’t let him turn.’ They tried everything to make life difficult for me, and that’s football. I understand it.

England are a very strong team. They made us suffer for long periods. There were moments when it felt like every touch I took had two or three players around me.

But this Argentina team doesn’t know how to give up. That’s our greatest strength. Even when things become difficult, nobody drops their head. We keep believing until the very end.

When I looked at the scoreboard and saw there were less than ten minutes left, I felt a rush through my body. I told myself, ‘This is the moment. We have to find one more chance.’

That’s why I never stop asking for the ball. In matches like these, one pass, one movement or one decision can change everything.

The tears came because I know what this means to our people. I saw our supporters in the stands, I thought about my family and I thought about everyone in Argentina who has been with us through every high and every low.

Reaching another World Cup final is something very special, but our work isn’t finished. We didn’t come here just to reach the final. We came here to try and bring the World Cup back to Argentina one more time.”

🚨Ronaldo Nazario on Lionel Messi performance today against England.

🗣️“I think is high time the world accept the fact that Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer in the world without even questioning his talent because we’ve seen him do it several times since he started playing football till date.”

“There were people saying Lionel Messi has never face England in his whole career so there is going to be a challenge to him, looking at the game I will say it’s just an another day for him in the office.”

“This shouldn’t be a debate in football anymore or doubt, he has done it all and will be the greatest to ever do that at his age, it’s just so unbelievable to talk abo him.”

I hope our kids growing up will have a an incredible story to tell their kids when they grew up.”

🚨🚨| José Mourinho on Lionel Messi Greatness:

José Mourinho Said🗣️: "Players like Leo Messi can never truly be stopped. The only time Messi stops is when he decides to stop himself. It is never easy to contain him. In my career, I have never seen a player greater than him. For me, Leo Messi is one of the greatest players of all time." 🤯

🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra reacts after Argentina’s comeback:

“I’m telling you honestly… I have never seen this kind of grace in my life. Never. This is something else. You look at their journey — Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland… and now England — they never win easily. Never. But they always find a way.

And this game… wow. Never in my life did I think it would end like this. Not even when they equalized — I didn’t see it coming. And then to complete the comeback? This is crazy. This is something beyond football.

Listen… I’ve said things before, I’ve joked, I’ve criticized… but now I’m tired. I’m tired of hating on Lionel Messi. At some point, you just have to accept it.

This is destiny. This is something written. They are chosen — I don’t know by who, maybe by God — but you can’t fight this anymore. You just have to accept it.”
