Other than Messi they were really the standout players throughout the tournament.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup Golden Ball:

🗣️: “What else did Messi have to do to win it? I genuinely don’t understand the criteria anymore. If you look back at 2018, Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball without winning the World Cup. So what changed now?

“Messi carried Argentina throughout the tournament, delivered when it mattered most, and was once again the player everyone feared. If that wasn’t enough, then tell me what is.

“It feels like the standards are always different when it comes to Messi. Every other player gets judged one way, but with him, people suddenly move the goalposts. It’s always against Messi.

“I’m happy for Rodri, but from a football perspective, I don’t think anyone had a stronger case than Messi.”

🚨 Leandro Paredes speaking on the clash with Gavi after the World Cup final:

🗣️: “Gavi came over after the final whistle while everyone was celebrating. He saw me and said in Spanish that No referee or VAR to help Messi today, I didn’t appreciate it. It was disrespectful, especially after the match had already ended.

“I walked up to him and punched him on the face. I wasn’t going to stand there and let a kid speak about Messi like that. After that, everything escalated. Players from both teams rushed in, there was pushing, shouting, and everyone was trying to defend their teammates.

“These things happen when emotions are running high after a World Cup final. I’m not proud that it turned into a confrontation, but I wasn’t going to let someone disrespect Messi without responding.”
