🚨🚨🚨| 📱 Messi via IG: "The pain is immense, and it will take time for this wound to heal.

"But I also choose to hold on to all the good things, the matches we turned around by giving everything, moments that will remain in our memories forever and the support of an entire country that, together with the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again among the best teams in the world.

"Today, it is difficult to appreciate what we achieved, but this group reached two consecutive World Cup finals.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message. Once again, we managed to come together as a country and stand united, sharing the immense pride of being Argentine.

"I also want to congratulate Spain on winning the championship."

🚨 Lionel Scaloni: “Was the refereeing unfair? No, no. We lost because they were the better team. We have to acknowledge that they played better.

"We probably arrived at the final running on empty, that’s the reality.

"But sometimes it’s good to recognize that they were better, and I think doing so will make us better.”

[Abhinav Sinha @abhinavmaksi]

@NealGardner_ Not controversial at all. We don't judge based on goals and assists. Anyone who saw Spain's matches can vouch how imperious he was. Toyed with everyone.

@ReshadRahman Lmao they don't deserve to win this. Argentina have played an embarrassing game, abysmal and shameless. What was he thinking? Spain deserves to win this

Had to dig into the jersey archive to find just the right one for tonight, I think this sums up my allegiances pretty well 😂

Leo Messi’s letter to all Argentinians the night before the World Cup Final. 🩵🤍💌

“The most beautiful thing about all these years was 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲”.

“Sharing day-to-day life with this group, competing together, picking ourselves up in the difficult moments, and 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩”.

“Thanks to each one of my teammates, to the coaching staff, and to all the great people who work every day to keep this National Team as a 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲”.

“Whatever happens tomorrow, this group has already written 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 and that no one will be able to erase”.

“𝑽𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒔, 𝑨𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂”.

If Spain win the World Cup tonight, Pau Cubarsi is etched in history as one of the most accomplished CB talents the sport has ever produced.

Undisputed for Barça and Spain, multiple domestic titles, and a literal World Cup - all as a starter, all before turning 20!!!

[Rood 🇭🇹 @RoodMurat]

@NealGardner_ It says a lot that Zlatan who thinks he better than everybody knows he nowhere near Messi

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

I’ve never seen Zlatan talk about anyone this glowingly but himself 😂

[Panenka Power @PanenkaPower]

Neal most times a player has acted as such, the move usually never goes well. The player either flops or picks up a severe injury. Whether it’s down to Karma or pressure due to their behavior leading up to the transfer or the huge fee. I think we should steer clear off Alvarez now.

It’s his own fault for signing with them in the first place when he knew he had ambitions of playing for a bigger club. Clubs don’t spend that much on a player only to let them leave easily 2 years later.

🚨🎙️| Mounir Nasraoui (Lamine Yamal’s father): “Why didn’t I fly to the USA to support Lamine? I suffer from epilepsy. I take quite a few pills every day, and with all the nerves and excitement, I could have an epileptic seizure. I can't take long flights. Before travelling, I have to think about myself, my son, and the people around me. I don’t want to cause any problems, so it’s better for me to stay at home and watch him from there.” #fcblive

[Barça Buzz @Barca_Buzz]

Interesting fact

Luis de la Fuente was one of Lionel Scaloni’s professors during the coaching course the latter attended at Las Rozas in 2017.

Now, the teacher and the student will face each other in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

I want to talk more about Gordon, because everything I saw from him at the World Cup makes me strongly believe we’ve secured ourselves a top, top signing.

Think about the prototype of Flick’s ideal forward, and you’d gravitate towards notions of pace, power, work-rates, adaptability, selflessness, and output.

Gordon ticks every single one of those boxes. And the best part? He quite clearly has levels to reach - no better way to do that than working under the best offensive manager in the sport.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

A 39-year-old Messi at the World Cup:

•Most goals
•Most goal contributions
•Most dribbles
•Most chances created
•Most big chances created
•Highest expected assists

How does this even make sense? 😂

[Reshad Rahman @ReshadRahman]

We’ve come a full circle.

In 2007, Messi was paired with a baby named Lamine Yamal during a charity photoshoot. It could’ve been *any* child, but somehow, it was him.

This child went on to become the #10 of Barcelona and is the future.

17 years later, on Sunday, they meet again. The hands that once held the little prince, will now shake before battle on football’s biggest stage.

Too good of a script.

[Jacob C. Edmunds @JacobCEdmunds]

I’ve seen thousands of Messi videos over the years, but nothing tops this 😂 https://t.co/jM0KcD9MxU

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

There’s a very good reason these Argentine players play for Messi they way they do.

Just an incredible, incredible leader.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

Argentina are one game away from doing a double Copa America, double World Cup.

As if winning two successive World Cups isn’t bonkers enough, they’re going for 4 major international trophies in a row - something *no one* has done in football history.

To think, Scaloni took over an Argentinian side who hadn’t won a single thing in decades, to now transforming them into winners like we’ve quite literally never seen before.
