Con el dolor en el alma por no haber podido traer la copa que todos merecรญamos, pero con el orgullo a flor de piel por esta camiseta, por mis compaรฑeros, el cuerpo tรฉcnico, los directivos, el cuerpo mรฉdico, los cocineros, los utileros y por cada persona que estuvo involucrada para que todo esto funcionara de la mejor manera. Y, por sobre todo, por ustedes, que nos hicieron llegar todo su amor, toda su fuerza, esa pasiรณn que tanto nos caracteriza y la uniรณn de un paรญs que espero perdure en el tiempo.
Quiero felicitar a Espaรฑa por su merecido tรญtulo.
Y a nuestra gente quiero decirle que el resultado no define el camino recorrido. Atravesamos adversidades, hicimos posible lo que parecรญa imposible y nunca buscamos excusas, solo encontramos razones para seguir. Defendimos nuestros colores mucho mรกs allรก de la cancha y compartimos momentos inolvidables en la Selecciรณn, junto a nuestras familias y con el apoyo incondicional de todos los argentinos. Siempre serรก un enorme orgullo representarlos.
Recuerden que โla caรญda de los grandes es la felicidad de los mediocresโ.
Muchas gracias a todos. Cuidemos nuestro paรญs. ๐๐ผ
ยกTe amo, Argentina! ๐ฆ๐ท
The hate campaign against him this WC has opened my eyes to how legit hateful some people are
When I saw my irls hate on him who donโt even have a clue about the sport, that opened my eyes. Stay away from these people
He is deadarse my superhero and I will forever back him
๐จ๐ฒ| Lionel Messi via IG:
โThe pain is very great, and it will take time for these wounds to heal. But I also hold on to everything that was beautifulโฆ the matches that we turned around after giving our all, which will remain immortal in memory, and with the support of an entire country, which, alongside the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again to be, once again, among the best national teams in the world.
Today it's hard to appreciate what we've achieved, but this group has reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
Thank you so much from the heart for every congratulation and every message. Once again we succeeded in uniting as a country, and in being all together, sharing the great pride of being Argentine.
I also want to congratulate Spain on winning the tournament."

Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spainโs FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina.
๐ฃ๏ธ Lamine Yamal: โTonight I lifted the World Cup for Spain, but I also experienced something Iโll tell my children one day. The man who once held me as a baby was standing on the other side of the pitch, fighting for the same dream. Football has a beautiful way of bringing stories full circle.โ
โWhen I looked at Messi after the final whistle, I didnโt just see an opponent. I saw the player who made millions of kids, including me, believe football could be art. I saw the man whose videos I watched over and over, trying to copy things that nobody else could do.โ
โI know this defeat will hurt him. You donโt play with that much passion, carry your country again and again, and lose a World Cup final without feeling pain. Even in defeat, he kept demanding the ball, creating chances and refusing to stop believing. Thatโs what champions do.โ
โPeople will talk about Spain winning this World Cup, and they should. But theyโll also remember that, at an age when most legends have already retired, Messi was still making the worldโs best defenders panic every time he touched the ball. Thatโs extraordinary.โ
โThe photo of Messi bathing me became one of footballโs most iconic images. Today we took another picture together, but this time I could thank him face to face. Without players like him, kids like me wouldnโt dare dream this big.โ
โOne day another generation will replace mine too. Thatโs football. But there will never be another Lionel Messi. Records can be broken and trophies can be won, but inspiring an entire generation to fall in love with the game is something only a few people in history will ever achieve.โ
โTonight belongs to Spain. Tomorrow, the debates will continue. But my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He didnโt need to win this final to prove who he is. For me, heโll always be one of the greatest players football has ever seen, and sharing the pitch with him was a privilege Iโll carry for the rest of my life.โ
