Le dernier but de Messi en sélection aura donc été un but salvateur à 10’ de la fin
À l’image de sa carrière

Pas un forceur ❤️

🚨🚨🚨💣 LEO MESSI STATEMENT:

“After all this time since the final, and after thinking about it a lot, I want to tell everyone that I’m retiring from the national team…

"It was a decision that hurt and still hurts deep inside, but I understand that this is the right moment.

"I swear I always gave everything, not only in these last few years when we won everything, but before that too. I always fought and gave everything for this shirt, to bring you happiness and make you feel proud to be Argentine through football.

"There isn’t much time left, and different chapters are coming to an end. This is one that hurts me a lot. I love, I loved, and I will always love being part of the national team. I gave everything I had, and I don’t have anything more to give.

"Also, there are great young players coming through who deserve to be here.

"Thank you for all the love during these 20 years. I’m going to miss hearing you from the inside. Now I’ll be one of you, always supporting from the outside, in the good times and even more in the bad ones.

"Thank you to my family for always being there and for being with me throughout this beautiful but difficult journey. Thank you to every coach, teammate and director I had the chance to share it with. I take with me unforgettable memories and moments.

"I leave with peace and pride, knowing that together with my teammates we gave you moments we once dreamed of. It was crazy to experience all of this with you. I love you!

"Thank you God for making me Argentine.

"Vamos Argentina!

"I wrote these words on July 21, two days after the final. Today, after what happened with my dad, I’m even more convinced of this decision than before.”

[OGi 🐐 @BCNOgi]

It takes incomprehensible superhuman strength to go and play in a world cup and quite literally carry an entire team and nation on your back to yet another final at the age of 39 while your father is terminally ill. All while some mentally deranged and flat out evil people on social media are comparing you to a genocidal maniac.

Lionel Andres Messi Cucittini, you are stronger than all of us put together. You represent a beacon of hope not just for football but for humanity in general.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you've done for me, for us fans, and for the sport.

Te amo Leo. ❤️❤️❤️

Je ne connais pas vraiment ta vie, mais je n’oublierai jamais ce que tu as apporté à la mienne.

Depuis mon premier vrai souvenir de toi (ton triplé à 19 ans contre le Real), j’ai perdu le compte des lendemains de match où je suis allé à l’école, puis à l’université, puis au travail, le sourire aux lèvres grâce à tes exploits.

Souvent j’ai suivi les matches en t’observant attentivement même quand tu n’avais pas le ballon (désolé Busi). Tes déplacements, ta façon de te connecter au jeu en 1/4 de seconde, m’ont ouvert les yeux sur les possibilités infinies du jeu.

À l’aube de tes 35 ans, tu as réussi l’impossible : entrer dans le cœur des Argentins, même de ceux qui avaient grandi avec l’émotion incarnée qu’on appelle Maradona. C’était ce qui comptait le plus pour toi. Et tu l’as fait.

Bravo. Ton empreinte restera éternelle.

Au fond, ce que je garderai de toi, ce n’est même pas ton talent et encore moins tes stats, pourtant sans égal, car personne ne respecte le ballon comme toi et il te l’a magnifiquement rendu.

Ce que je retiens, c’est tout ce que tu m’auras fait vivre, année après année. Les frissons, les déceptions, ton sens du collectif, ta rédemption argentine, ton incompréhensible mais touchante fragilité sur péno… tout cela restera avec moi, à vie.

J’ai hâte de raconter tout ça à mes enfants.

Merci.

Thank you for everything.

Dropping one of the best World Cup campaigns at the age of 39.

Greatest sportsman of all time.

Greatest player in history of the sport.
