“It was surely MESSI'S LAST WORLD CUP MATCH, and perhaps his LAST with his country. He will be 35 YEARS OLD when the NEXT WORLD CUP IN QATAR arrives."
The words of the English commentator after Argentina's elimination in 2018.
The ONLY 🐐
It was either Wilson or Cox who a decade ago talked about how when you close your eyes and picture Messi it is in the #10 of Barcelona.
Incredibly, I’m not so sure that’s the case anymore.
He may not be as Argentinian as Maradona, but that blue and white is equally his.

5 - Lionel Messi has scored five goals from outside the box in his FIFA World Cup career, equalling the most of any player since 1966 (Rivellino).
Range.
You win the World Cup (at last). I would have mic dropped, walked away, say thanks very much, good night and good bless.
That guy comes back, four years later, and scores three instead.
⭐️🇦🇷 Lionel Messi: “I love playing football; it has been my passion since I was little kid”.
“When I'm in good form, I give everything I have on the field”.
Ray hudson once said... "It's not the statistics! How do you measure somebody that could balance a balloon in a wind tunnel on a needle? He is capable of that. Astonishing!"
But for those who don't get it..I loved that his statistics gave the answer. Messi is immeasurable! Wow!
It’s not too late for the rest of you to admit that Messi is the greatest of all time and appreciate him at this World Cup btw.
I done it at the World Cup 2022 after spending years lying because of club allegiances.
