Elena Rybakina came to the U.S. Open off of a bad foot injury, but it turned into one of the greatest Grand Slam title runs of all-time.
She missed the entire first week of practice, but believed she could recover, focus, and play her way into this tournament…
Think about how hard that is.
On top of that, she had to beat:
4-time Grand Slam Champion Naomi Osaka.
Olympic Gold Medalist Qinwen Zheng.
2-time Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff.
4-time Grand Slam Champion and the reigning world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
She won her last 3 matches of the tournament in 3 sets.
On top of that, she leaves as the World No. 1.
She does not let the world know her feelings on the court. She doesn’t scream when she’s pumped up. She doesn’t lose control when she misses a sitter. She keeps an icy fortress of composure and focus around her, no matter the moment.
Because of that, not everyone knew the strength, guts, and fire she possesses inside.
But instead of telling us, she’s showing us who she is.
An icy mindset, a heart made of fire, and above all… one of the truest champions the game has seen.

What happened today in the Argentina vs. England game was absolute madness.
Imagine a game full of fouls, with barely any football being played and almost no real chances. Then, out of nowhere, England scored a scrappy goal and completely shut the game down. Thomas Tuchel even brought on three defenders—Dan Burn, Chris Rigg O’Riley, and Ezri Konsa—to protect the lead.
But Tuchel clearly didn’t learn from the Egypt vs. Argentina game. He forgot he was facing Lionel Messi, the greatest player in football history.
As always, Scaloni made the decisive adjustment. He moved Messi out wide and introduced Lautaro Martínez and Nicolás González alongside Julián Álvarez in the box, with Alexis Mac Allister arriving from midfield. Messi simply started delivering cross after cross.
The result? Enzo Fernández scored a stunning equalizer in the 86th minute, and Lautaro Martínez completed the comeback in the 92nd—both goals assisted by Messi.
A truly historic comeback.
A fully deserved place in the World Cup final for Argentina, who will now play in back-to-back World Cup finals for the first time in their history.
And above all, it’s another deserved moment for the greatest player in football history, Lionel Messi. 💙
🚨Lionel Messi was asked why he was emotional after Argentina’s victory over England to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.
🎙️ Reporter: “Leo, we saw you in tears after the final whistle. Why did this one mean so much?”
🗣️ Lionel Messi:
“Because this wasn’t an easy match. During the game, I could hear them telling each other, ‘Double up on him… go for his legs… don’t let him turn.’ They tried everything to make life difficult for me, and that’s football. I understand it.
England are a very strong team. They made us suffer for long periods. There were moments when it felt like every touch I took had two or three players around me.
But this Argentina team doesn’t know how to give up. That’s our greatest strength. Even when things become difficult, nobody drops their head. We keep believing until the very end.
When I looked at the scoreboard and saw there were less than ten minutes left, I felt a rush through my body. I told myself, ‘This is the moment. We have to find one more chance.’
That’s why I never stop asking for the ball. In matches like these, one pass, one movement or one decision can change everything.
The tears came because I know what this means to our people. I saw our supporters in the stands, I thought about my family and I thought about everyone in Argentina who has been with us through every high and every low.
Reaching another World Cup final is something very special, but our work isn’t finished. We didn’t come here just to reach the final. We came here to try and bring the World Cup back to Argentina one more time.”
Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.
🗣️ “People keep asking me how Messi is still doing this at 39 years old. My answer is simple because football has never seen anyone like him. Age defeats everyone, but somehow it refuses to defeat Lionel Messi. What he did tonight was beyond football… it was art.”
“England didn’t play against an old player. They played against the greatest mind this sport has ever produced. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, controlling the rhythm of the biggest match on earth as if he were playing in his backyard. That is not normal. It is impossible to teach.”
“I’ve stood on the touchline and watched Leo do things that left me speechless. Tonight, sitting at home, he made me feel exactly the same. Every touch had purpose. Every pass carried danger. Every decision was perfect. He didn’t run the most but he made everyone else run for him.”
“The frightening part is that he no longer needs his young legs. His football brain is ten seconds ahead of everyone else. By the time defenders realise what is happening, the ball is already in the back of the net or a teammate is celebrating. That’s genius. Pure genius.”
“People obsess over goals, but tonight Messi reminded the world that football is about creating moments no one else can imagine. Two assists that changed a nation’s history. Two passes that carried Argentina into another World Cup final. That is the definition of greatness.”
“At 39, most legends are sitting in television studios talking about football. Messi is still writing football history. He isn’t surviving at this level he’s dominating it. That’s why I will always say there has never been, and there will never be, another player like Lionel Messi.”
“When this World Cup is over, don’t just remember the trophies or the statistics. Remember that you witnessed a 39-year-old genius walk into a World Cup semi-final against one of the strongest teams in the world… and make them look ordinary. We are watching the final chapters of the greatest football story ever written.”
