Una cámara siguió a Lionel Messi durante el partido contra Inglaterra. Su genialidad, su esfuerzo, sus gestos, sus frustraciones momentáneas, su desahogo en el empate y su felicidad en el triunfo. También sus sonidos, incluso el disparo de las cámaras. Todo está ahí.
Es Messi jugando con una intensidad absoluta a los 39 años. Encarando a jugadores mucho más jóvenes y ganándoles, engañándolos, escondiéndoles la pelota. Es el fútbol que nos emocionó en este Mundial. El de un hombre que jugó así mientras la vida de su padre se apagaba.
Y entonces esa entrega adquiere otra dimensión. Es Messi ofreciendo el cuerpo a los otros, a esa excitación que se escucha cuando arranca con la pelota y el sonido del estadio se eleva. Por eso la gratitud eterna, aunque tantos, en tantos lugares, no lo entiendan. O no les interese entenderlo.

Messi has 3 GOAT-tier UCL campaigns, 2 GOAT-tier World Cup campaigns, GOAT-tier and all-timer Copa América campaigns, a Finalissima masterclass and countless GOAT-tier LaLiga campaigns.
Which other all-time greats showed the highest level consistently across all competitions?
Leo Messi dropped historical World Cup at the age of 39, while knowing his father was living his final days.
No one would have blamed him for walking away to be by his father’s side. Instead, for two months, he kept fighting to bring one more joy to us.
It makes what he did even more extraordinary.
Rest in peace, Jorge Messi and all the strength to Messi family ❤️
No one knew about the health of Jorge Messi before the World Cup. Rumors started to come out during the World Cup. Messi tried to make everyone happy while dealing with the pain himself. But the campaign against him, painting him out to be a bad person continued. Difficult.
Querido Leo,
No puedo imaginar el dolor por el que debes estar pasando. Te mando todo mi cariño y mis condolencias a ti y a toda tu familia en estos momentos tan difíciles.
Descanse en paz, Jorge. 🙏🏻
🚨📱| Gary Lineker’s Emotional Message to Lionel Messi
🗣️: “Forget football for a moment.
Imagine walking onto a World Cup pitch knowing your father is seriously ill. Imagine carrying that fear in your heart while millions watch you, judge you, abuse you, and even send you death threats.
Lionel Messi still played. He still carried Argentina. He still gave everything.
And now, after all of that, he has lost his father.
People will remember the goals, the trophies and the performances. But behind all of it was a son worrying about his dad while trying to do his job on the biggest stage in football.
That puts everything into perspective.
No football rivalry, no argument, no player debate is bigger than this.
My deepest condolences to Lionel Messi and the entire Messi family. May Jorge Messi rest in peace. 🕊️❤️
Be kind. You never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.”
So you’re telling me that Leo played this entire World Cup knowing that his dad could pass away at any moment?
That explains even more why he was so emotional during the tournament.
And people really carried out a whole hate campaign on him while he was going through this…
The entire world came together to hàte on a man while his father was fightïng for his lífe.
He cried after their comeback against Egypt because he knew his father was síck.🕊️💔
