Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini es el único jugador de la historia al cual siempre se le exigió estar al nivel de generaciones pasadas (Maradona, Pelé) y a las generaciones futuras (Mbappé, Haaland).
Y nunca falló, siempre fue mejor.
Those who didn’t grow up watching football don’t realise how deep it is. I’m 25 and i genuinely can’t remember a single time in my life without messi. Whether i was celebrating or mourning, there was always a game and for those 90mins i got to see him play, everything was fine
Apparently making 3 out of 6 World Cup finals and winning 1 of them is more embarrassing than making 0 out of 6 World Cup finals. Strange world we live in
Messi is a serial winner, but you know what else.
He's tier one at taking loses on the chest too.
No tantrums, no fights, no excuses, just straight up accepts defeats, watches the winners lift the trophy and walks away.
Messi‘s tears today are different from the World Cup final in 2014. Today seems more like farewell. He‘s realizing it‘s fully over now, what he‘s built over the last few decades comes to an end. That must hurt
