Declan Rice: "Lionel Messi, I think what we're witnessing right now is truly very special and what he's doing at this age is unbelievable.
"As a football fan, a football enthusiast and also as a footballer, watching him is an incredible pleasure." 🐐
I watched every chapter of Lionel Messi’s career, the magic, the heartbreak, the endless debates, and the years of hearing that he could never do it with Argentina.
They mocked us. They told us international football would always be the stain on his legacy.
But through every final lost and every cruel setback, I always believed we’d have the last laugh.
Now he’s a World Cup champion. An international champion. The greatest player the game has ever seen. And he is going for another one.
We are having the last laugh.
Still think it’s insane how in a World Cup where it is the “last dance” for Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar it’s only Messi who has NOTHING to prove that’s turned up.
🚨💣 BREAKING! Julián Álvarez: “The best thing for me is a TRANSFER and I want to FULFILL MY DREAM”. 🔥
As always reported, Julián has agreed to join Barça and wants the move. It depends on clubs now…
…after €100m bid rejected few weeks ago.
Football’s GOAT debate is genuinely the most manufactured debate ever.
Gap between Lionel Messi and the 2nd best player just isn’t close. At all.
And nothing from active players will make it so.
All the records broken by Lionel Messi today:
Most FIFA World Cup finals goals by a football (soccer) player - 18
Most FIFA World Cup matches played in by an individual - 28
Most matches won by a player at the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 18
