🎙️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on whether Lionel Messi should continue playing after the World Cup:
“If I were Messi, I would retire from international football after yesterday’s defeat. I think he has done enough.”
“He has nothing left to prove to football. He has won everything there is to win, broken countless records and completed the game in every possible way.
What I see now is a very average team relying on one extraordinary player. Messi does everything. He creates, he scores, he inspires, he carries them.
Take away Messi’s goals and assists, and the rest of the squad barely contributes anything in attack. That tells you everything.
So many times they struggled as a team. They conceded goals, looked out of the game, and then Messi produced another moment of magic to bring them back. Without him, they wouldn’t have gone as far as they did.
He gave everything he had for Argentina. Now it’s time to leave the responsibility to the younger generation and let the world see whether they can survive without Lionel Messi carrying them.
For me, there is nothing left for Messi to achieve. He should leave the international stage with his head held high because his legacy is already untouchable.
Messi lost the World Cup final, not his legacy.”
Thank you for everything.
Dropping one of the best World Cup campaigns at the age of 39.
Greatest sportsman of all time.
Greatest player in history of the sport.
Of all these, there’s not a single one that leaves me in awe better than scoring 91 goals in a calendar year.
That’s what some strikers score in 10 years.
As ridiculously good and prolific Mbappe, Haaland, Ronaldo, Kane and Luis Suarez are, none of them has reached the 70 mark. I stand to be corrected.
I can never understand how anyone will score 91 goals in a year at professional level. Elite, top 1% professional football and he scored 91 goals.
It’s ridiculous. It is.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
I think few games will ever come close to the beauty of destiny's aesthetic and the sense of awe I felt exploring the world for the first time. Reposting this from years ago with a positive caption instead, because despite of all its flaws, this game never stopped being stunning.
this is easily a top 5 jackass moment. no serious danger, nothing grotesque. just one man and his soup falling for an overly elaborate prank in a way he couldn’t possibly see coming.
