🚨The Ronaldo faithful are gonna hate me today. But it looks like it's all about him, you know what I mean?

He's always chasing Messi all the time. He's never gonna be Messi. Right now, he's becoming more of a hindrance for Portugal than help. 😭

[Troll Penaldo @PenaldoTroll]

Ronaldo liked a post on instagram saying Messi should have been sent off against Algeria 😂😂😂😂

@Micky_right How can you call yourself a football commentator and stupidly spew propaganda at the same time. Maybe just go watch netball or cook or something.

Embarrassing.

When Messi said he cried after the goal because of something unrelated to football, I don’t know why but it hit me harder than the hat-trick itself.

Maybe because we’ve spent so many years looking at him as something more than human.

Every time Argentina needed a hero, there he was.

Every time football needed magic, there he was.

Every time people said it was over, there he was.

And yet moments like this remind you that behind all the goals, trophies and celebrations is just a man carrying battles we know nothing about.

I think that’s why I’ve stopped caring about the debates.

The GOAT debates.

The era debates.

The league debates.

At some point you realize you’re watching the final chapters of a story that millions of people will tell for decades.

One day there won’t be another Messi World Cup game.

One day there won’t be another impossible assist, another left-footed finish, another moment where an entire stadium stands up because the ball found its way to him.

And when that day comes, football will continue.

But it won’t feel quite the same.

What a privilege it has been to watch him.

What a privilege it has been to grow up in the Messi era.

One day I’ll tell my kids that I watched Lionel Messi play football.

And they’ll probably never understand just how lucky we were.

I don’t know how to explain it but all Ronaldo fans have similar personalities

What fascinates me more than the hat-trick is one question I’d love to ask Messi: How did you make them love you this much? Messi has reached a level with his teammates that even Maradona never truly achieved throughout his career.

The man in front of you is the same player who, after Argentina reached the 2014 World Cup final, had Mascherano walk up to him and say: “I’m tired of seeing you suffer. Today, we’re playing only for your happiness.” When the media criticized Messi, Agüero said they used to ask themselves just one question: “How can we get the ball to him in the best possible position to prove he’s the best?”

Then came Copa América 2021, when Di María said: “I was ready to break my leg if it meant Messi could win an international trophy.” Less than a year later, the level of devotion had somehow gone even higher. De Paul said: “I could go to war for him without even knowing the reason.” Emiliano Martínez went even further: “I’d be willing to die for Messi on the pitch.”

Now we’ve reached 2026. Do you think anything has changed? If anything, it’s become even stronger. Álvarez and Lautaro received chances they could have finished themselves, yet they waited for Messi and squared the ball to him so he could complete his hat-trick.

This Argentina team moves as one, beats as one, and rallies behind one name:

Messi. 🐐🇦🇷

Rodrigo De Paul on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi inside the national team:

🗣️ “People always ask me what Messi is like inside the Argentina camp. The truth is, for us, he is much more than just our captain or our best player.”

“He is the guy who carried this country through pressure, criticism, heartbreak, and impossible expectations for so many years without ever giving up on Argentina.”

“When Messi walks into the dressing room, everybody notices. Not because he demands attention, but because of the respect he has earned from every single player who wears this shirt.”

“There have been matches where players were exhausted, injured, barely able to run, but the moment Messi received a bad tackle, everyone suddenly found extra energy to fight for him.”

“I've seen teammates sprint fifty metres just to defend him. I've seen players argue with opponents, stand up to referees, and put themselves on the line because they feel they owe him that much.”

“People outside football may not understand it, but when you share a pitch with Messi, you don't just want to win for Argentina... you want to win for him too.”

“For many of us, seeing Messi happy after a victory feels almost as important as the result itself because we know everything he has sacrificed for this country.”

“And honestly, inside that dressing room, Messi isn't treated like a superstar... he's treated like football royalty. For many Argentine players, he is as close to a football god as we will ever see.”

This is not fair why is Congo playing with 12 players? Ronaldo is also a center back for Congo, he never leaves his position 😭😭😭😭

🚨🚨🎙️| Daniel Riolo on Cristiano Ronaldo: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a plague on his team... They played with 10 men and a post up front.

Messi knows he's at the end of his career... Ronaldo, he's in his own world. He thinks he's still 25, that he's still at a big club."

Poor guy wanted to help Portugal move on from the man child and they fired him 😭

The reason why Ronaldo isn’t winning with Portugal But Messi is winning with Argentina is found in this video. 💔🥹

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

To all @Cristiano fans, I understand why you think he is a magician. He has the ability to magically be invisible throughout entire matches. The invisible man strikes again!
