"Football is so demanding that every setback can be demoralising. What Derby County stands for, though, is the ability to fight back from adversity." 💪

It's now evident why Messi was so expressive & emotional after every goal and every win. He was going through one of the roughest time of his life & still managed to put a smile on billions of faces for an entire month. There simply will never be a bigger sporting icon than him.

Leo Messi dropped historical World Cup at the age of 39, while knowing his father was living his final days.

No one would have blamed him for walking away to be by his father’s side. Instead, for two months, he kept fighting to bring one more joy to us.

It makes what he did even more extraordinary.

Rest in peace, Jorge Messi and all the strength to Messi family ❤️

LIONEL MESSI, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING IN OUR LIVES. https://t.co/PgY2UJdJ16

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

The best way I can sum up those last 20 minutes is this:

The greatest footballer of all time saw the curtain beginning to fall on his career, simply refused to accept it, and DRAGGED his team to victory.

THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

39 years of greatness

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

39.

I’ll never take a single day of watching Lionel Messi play football for granted.

Growing up and witnessing his entire journey has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Because there’s a feeling Messi gives you that simply can’t be explained. If you’re not a Messi fan, you’ll never truly understand it.

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

Happy birthday to the greatest player that has ever played the game.

The greatest player that will ever play the game.

The greatest sportsman of all time.

🚨🥹❤️ Leo Messi: “I honestly don’t play thinking about how old I am but rather about how I feel physically. From there, I just try to give my maximum, regardless of my age, and give everything I have. The truth is that I feel physically good.

"I also feel very supported by this group and this team, which plays wonderful football and has incredible players both in attack and defense. It’s a team and a group that has been built over many years, that competes and never gets anything handed to them.

"I’m happy to keep contributing, helping, and being part of this group because we enjoy being together. Every day here is a very happy one.”

"And honestly, I’m happy to be here because, as I said before, I love playing. It’s what I’ve done my whole life, it’s what I enjoy, and hopefully I can keep doing it for a long time to come.”
