Arsène Wenger on Argentina players giving Lionel Messi a guard of honor and throwing him into the air after the game:
🗣️ “This is one of the most beautiful images football can give us. Forget the score, forget the records, forget the trophies for a moment this is about respect, love, and the bond between a captain and his teammates. Seeing Messi lifted into the air by his teammates shows what he truly means to Argentina.”
“People see the goals, the assists, and the incredible moments, but they don’t always see the emotions behind the legend. Messi has carried the responsibility of an entire nation for so many years, and tonight his teammates showed him that they appreciate every sacrifice, every battle, and every moment he has given them.”
“A guard of honor from your own teammates is not something you can demand it is something you earn. It is a symbol of admiration. They were not only celebrating a victory; they were celebrating their leader, their inspiration, and the player who has given Argentina so many unforgettable memories.”
“For Messi’s fans around the world, this is a moment to treasure forever. Football is not only about winning; it is about creating emotions that stay with people for a lifetime. Tonight, Argentina showed the world the incredible respect and affection they have for Lionel Messi their captain, their hero, and one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.”
MESSI, PLANIFICACIÓN Y EJECUCIÓN.
Video en tiempo real de 2 minutos.
1. Comienza dándole indicaciones a Lisandro Martínez. Quien será el encargado de darle el pase ganador.
2. Camina como distraído entre los defensores, que lo marcan en zona, saben que hombre a hombre es imposible y con riesgo de dislocarse la cadera.
3. En el minuto 1:17 Messi trota para salir del off-side, y al momento de que sale el pase, corre y ya toos saben como termina.
I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year, it took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success. —Messi

Five Former Presidents together that actually liked each other and enjoyed each other’s company and it’s so sad that the late great Jimmy Carter had passed away.
“Depois que o Leo ganhou a Copa do Mundo, eu fui ao quarto dele não como um brasileiro ou um ex-companheiro de equipe, mas como um irmão mais velho.
Quando o vi sentado ali, finalmente segurando aquele troféu, não precisei dizer muita coisa. Apenas o abracei e disse: "Agora, o futebol pagou sua dívida com você".
Vê-lo tão feliz é a coisa mais bonita. A história está completa.”
