Thierry Henry in November 2025: “When Sol Campbell came, I said to him, ‘Are you MAD?!’, I was happy because I didn’t have to play against him anymore! He walked on a free transfer & then straight away won the double. It’s got to hurt?! It was right!” 🤣❤️

Patrice Evra on Lionel Messi scoring the opener against Cape Verde, assisted by Lautaro Martínez, to move to 7 goals and lead the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot race:

🗣️ “This is why Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players football has ever seen. The biggest stage, the biggest pressure, and once again he's the man making the difference for Argentina.

What a pass from Lautaro Martínez, but the finish from Messi was pure class. No panic, no hesitation just complete composure. That's what separates world-class players from everyone else.

Seven goals in one World Cup isn't luck. It's the mark of a player who refuses to let history stop chasing him. Every time people think they've seen everything from Messi, he finds another way to rewrite the record books.

If you're every team left in this tournament, this should worry you. A Messi leading the Golden Boot race is a dangerous Messi. He's playing with freedom, confidence and the belief that he can carry Argentina all the way again.

People can debate the greatest of all time forever, but nights like this remind you why Lionel Messi belongs in every single conversation. He's not just chasing another World Cup he's building a legacy that future generations will spend decades trying to match.”
