Barcelona is a weird club. They will delay signings. Sign bums. Do nothing in the transfer window. Bring some kids from La Masia. Beat Real Madrid home and away. Win La Liga. Rinse and repeat. 💀
🇳🇬 🗣️John Obi Mikel: "I will never forget what happened after the U-20 World Cup final against Argentina. Messi won the Golden Ball, and I won the Silver Ball, but I felt I deserved the Golden Ball. I approached him and said in Spanish, 'You stole the Golden Ball from me. I was better.'
Messi, with his characteristic humility, smiled and replied, 'It wasn't my decision; it was the committee's. But what you've done for your country is incredible.!' Later, when we crossed paths near the locker rooms, he offered to swap awards: 'If you want, take my Golden Ball and give me the Silver.' I laughed and said, 'I can't; you deserve it. I was just frustrated. Thank you for being so kind!'
Years later, we met again at the 2018 World Cup.
Messi greeted me, 'Hello, golden boy. I still have the photo from the awards ceremony! That's when I told him, 'Today I know you truly deserved that award. You the best Leo.🐐
Scaloni, in the press conference, spoke about things that happened before the final, but he didn't elaborate on the subject out of respect for the World Cup. Before the match, Messi said: "Come on, boys, let's forget what happened, as if nothing had happened." What happened? What went on? What's this about?
Someone should come out and say it. Because it's impossible for the form we saw yesterday to have no reason behind it.
Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal in the 2026 World Cup final. 😳
Passion seems to be Argentinas biggest tactic. Rodri seems to be it for Spain.
In your opinion, who wins????
🚨 Messi:
🎙️ Reporter: "Leo, how do you always manage to find teammates like Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez in those moments?"
Messi: 🗣️ "That's part of my job. If the opposition stops me from scoring, then I'll create the chance for my teammates. It doesn't matter who gets the goal - as long as Argentina wins, that's what matters most."
How about watch soccer in peace and stop making things political it’s crazy. In the end they still got to put the ball into the net.
I’m tired of cry babies all around the world shut up play ball.
The better team won today. Great game by both but the response from sore losers is insane
Messi was doing all of these against MLS defenders, and everyone clowned him. Now he’s doing it against top Premier League players on the biggest stage at 39.
SPEAK NOW MF’S😭😭
