The narrative of “we want to win it for Messi” was like Messi FC embodied into eleven other players, each of them giving absolutely everything for what they wanted for their idol. This was so beautiful, man. We’re genuinely so lucky to have witnessed and enjoyed this era. 😭

The odds of capturing this on video were probably 1 in 850 quindecillion

There has never been a quadruple meg before in human history and there will never be another

In a world of AI, there is something so beautiful and poetic about Messi’s story ending the way it began, from signing his first Barcelona contract on a tissue paper to writing his final farewell to football by hand on random notes paper.

[chuuyaism153. @mesqueun11]

I genuinely don't think I'm gonna enjoy football without Messi. He got me into this sport, it won't be the same without him at all.

What a sad day to be alive.

Messi's greatest legacy with Argentina NT isn't just winning the World Cup. It's that he failed so many times and still kept trying. Dreams take time, effort and some failures along the way. That's the real life lesson he's leaving. 🇦🇷 🐐

One life. One legacy.

Thank you, Leo 🇦🇷🩵

Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccitini, you made your nation, family, and a global fanbase cry and rejoice with you for over two decades wearing the beautiful blue and white. History will be kinder to you, and your legacy will live for as long as there is life on this planet. Thank you.

[Beco @becosenn]

Gracias viejo, lo disfruté un montón.

[MC @CrewsMat10]

If Messi’s national team retirement is already this painful, I don’t even want to think about how I’ll feel when he retires from football altogether.

Greatest of all time.

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

🚨🚨🚨💣 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.”
