🚨🎙️ Argentine journalist Joaquín Bruno on celebrating with Lionel Messi:

“To this moment, I'm still shaking.

I've covered football for years, I've been in stadiums, interviewed players and witnessed incredible moments.

But nothing prepared me for this.

Messi scored, ran towards our side, saw me celebrating like a fan, and suddenly he was right there.

He reached out and shook my hand.

For a second, I forgot I was a journalist. I was just another football lover living a dream.

People always ask why we love this game so much.

It's because of moments like this.

A photo would be amazing, of course. I hope someone captured it.

But even if no photo exists, I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life.

Some memories are simply priceless.”

Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room after exchanging shirts with Lionel Messi in 2023:

“I have Messi's jersey, it's very special. It's a dream come true, everybody's a fan of Messi and now I've played against him. 🐐

“It was a tough game, he scored some goals against me, but I also saved some good shots from him. After the game he told me that too, that I made some good saves, that means a lot to me. 🤝

“I need those saves for YouTube!" 😂

[Blake @blake_cfc]

🚨 Paulo Dybala on the difference between playing with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:

“Messi and Ronaldo are completely different. Leo likes to drop deep, create chances, and make everyone around him play better.

Cristiano is a goalscoring machine. He always wants to be in the box, ready to finish every opportunity.”

Dybala added that playing alongside both of them was an incredible experience because each is unique in their own way. 🐐⚽

🚨🗣Neymar:

"My dream World Cup Final would be Brazil vs Portugal."

[Molly @Molly_AFC]

🚨🚨BREAKING: GARETH BALE:
“There was one moment in football that completely shifted my perspective on rivalry. I was dealing with a recurring muscle problem that haunted my whole career, when I got a surprise message from Real Madrid’s fitness trainer.

He told me, ‘Leo heard about your injury and wants to help you out.’ 💙
Next thing I knew, I was getting a direct call from Messi’s own doctor. He gave me a recovery plan that had worked for him, plus the exact rehab drills Messi followed in 2013 🩺📋.

He also pointed me to a top sports clinic in Barcelona where elite players go. 🏥🇪🇸.”

“That experience showed me professionalism isn’t about club colors or badges 🤝. Real greatness is what you give to others, even if they’re your opponents. Messi is a person first, legend second 🐐❤️.

When most people treat El Clásico like a battle, Messi reminded everyone that football is about more than goals — it’s about heart and respect 🌍✨”

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: A few months ago in the Champions League, Gianluca Prestianni covered his mouth while saying something to Vinicius Jr.

It was never proven what he said, so the "PRESTIANNI LAW" was created: Any player who covers his mouth to say something to an opponent will be sent off, regardless of what was actually said.

Today, the Prestianni Law was applied for the FIRST time to Miguel Almirón, who covered his mouth while speaking to a rival during the World Cup and was shown a straight RED CARD. ❌

[Mr Sam @Mr_SamFCB]

🎙️🗣️Have you ever played against Messi?

🗣️ Maguire: "No, never… That hasn't happened."

🎙️🗣️Really? That's strange, isn't it? Manchester United, I don't recall them playing against Barcelona much.

🗣️Maguire: "No, we played against Barcelona but he had already left them by then. We played against them in the Europa League."

🎙️🗣️Paris Saint-Germain?

🗣️Maguire: "No, Messi had already left when we played against them in the Champions League."

🎙️🗣️Maybe that saved your career, right?

🗣️Maguire: "Yes, probably. I want his shirt, but honestly, I wouldn't want to face him on the pitch." 😂

[DREN!! @City_Dren]

🚨🗣️Eden Hazard:

Looking back, I think the biggest mistake of my career wasn't taking the No. 7 shirt at Real Madrid- it was leaving Chelsea with the intention to compete with Messi.

When I wore No. 17 at Chelsea, I always dreamed of earning the No. 10 shirt. The manager told me to keep working hard and even used Messi as an example of the standards I had to reach.

My best period came in 2017/18. People were comparing me to Messi, Belgium had an incredible World Cup, and Real Madrid came for me to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

I accepted the challenge without hesitation. I believed I could compete at that level, but football humbled me.

What I learned is simple: no one competes with Messi. He's the greatest, and sometimes you only understand certain decisions when it's already too late.

🚨 Zidane reflects on Messi’s hat trick against his son :

🗣️: Before kickoff I told my son to stay sharp for 90 minutes. After 10 minutes, I told him to just stay respectful. By full time I told him to appreciate what he just witnessed.”

“Messi does not really test goalkeepers. He just updates their career history.”

[ᜰ 🇦🇷 @markklfc]

Riyad Mahrez on Lionel Messi meeting his daughter after Argentina vs Algeria:

🗣️ “After the match, I went over to Leo Messi with my daughter because meeting him had been one of her biggest dreams for years. She has watched his highlights, worn his shirts, talked about his goals, and imagined this moment so many times.”

“As a father, there are moments in life that mean more than football, more than victories, and more than anything that happens on a pitch. Watching your child experience pure happiness is something that cannot be described with words.”

“I told Leo that she had been dreaming of meeting him and taking a photo with him for such a long time, and immediately he stopped what he was doing, smiled warmly, and gave her his full attention.”

“She was so nervous that she could barely speak at first. Her hands were shaking, her eyes were full of emotion, and she looked like she couldn't believe the moment she had imagined for years was finally happening.”

“In that moment, there was no Argentina, no Algeria, no World Cup, no competition, and no rivalry. It was simply a little girl standing face-to-face with the person she had always looked up to.”

“What touched me the most was the way Leo handled the situation. He didn't rush, he didn't make it feel like an obligation, and he didn't act like a superstar. He made her feel special and comfortable.”

“He spoke to her, smiled for the photos, and treated her with so much kindness and respect. Those small gestures mean everything to children because they stay with them forever.”

“When we walked away, she couldn't stop smiling. She kept looking at the photo over and over again, almost as if she was checking whether the moment was real.”

“She kept saying, ‘Dad, I actually met Messi. I really met Messi.’ Hearing those words from my daughter was more emotional for me than people can imagine.”

“Football gives us unforgettable moments on the pitch, but for me, the most beautiful moment of the night happened after the final whistle when I watched my daughter's dream become a reality right in front of my eyes.”

🚨Roy Keane on Portugal being held by Congo

🗣️ “I think some people expected Portugal to walk onto the pitch and score three or four goals automatically. That’s not how football works, especially at a World Cup.

What surprises me is that this isn’t what any of us expected. The whole world is disappointed with that midfield performance.

We know Bruno Fernandes is a player who usually creates chances, but today he created almost nothing. Vitinha was nowhere to be found as well, and that’s unacceptable from a trio many people called the best midfield in this tournament.

They dominated possession, but possession alone means nothing if you don’t create real danger.

One thing I noticed is that Portugal played a lot like PSG today. With Vitinha, João Neves and Nuno Mendes in the team, they controlled the ball but lacked quality and width in attack.

I see a lot of criticism aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo, but remove him and put someone else there, and Portugal probably look even worse.”

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🇦🇷 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Lionel Messi's father is NOT in good health. He has a serious health problem and this week his condition has worsened a little more.

Messi is suffering from this personal issue and that's why he got emotional after his goal last night.

🚨 Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi’s Hat-Trick at the Worldcup.

I couldn’t miss the match because Messi was playing. I had to switch the channel from golf immediately to watch him.

I’m both confused and not surprised (laughs). Messi scoring a hat-trick? Yes, because he prefers to assist more than scoring himself. But I wasn’t surprised - especially because one of his goals was cancelled in the first minute. If not offside, it could easily have been four.

I do call him king Leo because he's the greatest player ever.

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

• Are you joking with Messi about the records he is breaking?

De Paul: "Yes, a little because he doesn't know most of them."

"I swear to you that he isn't chasing individual records, but he ends up achieving them all."

[MessiXtra @MessiXtraHQ]

🚨🗣️ Issa Mandi (Algeria): What made the difference is that they have a ruthless player, as almost every chance he gets ends up in the net. He might be the greatest player of all time. His efficiency is immense; we knew that.

We tried to stop him as much as possible, but we didn't succeed - he was far better than us.

FIFA WORLD CUP HAT TRICK FOR MESSI! 🇦🇷

Lionel Messi ties Miroslav Klose for the most goals in Men’s FIFA World Cup history with 16 🐐

[Manchester United Forever @UtdForever7]

🚨📲 Diogo Dalot with a very emotional message for his friend and teammate, Diogo Jota:

“This summer, it will be very different. We will not just have 26 players. We will be 26 + 1.

When we lost Diogo Jota last summer, I refused to believe it. I was training on my own in Portugal when I checked my phone and saw like 10 messages from Claudia. I called Bruno. I texted anyone who might know something. Even when his death was confirmed, it seemed too sick to me to be true. Just a few weeks earlier, we were celebrating the Nations League title together. I could still see him next to me, raising the trophy and dancing under the confetti.

He had just gotten married. He had three wonderful children. At 28, he had so much left to give.

Being his teammate was an honour. I remember one of the first times we were together on the bench with Portugal, just watching the game, like normal. A throw-in went against us. Out of nowhere, Diogo jumped out of his seat, sprinted to the touchline and started shouting at the fourth official.

‘How can you not see that?? When are you gonna give us something?? Come on!!!’

I’m telling you, he was killing him!

‘He clearly touched it!! I saw it from the bench!!!’

Oh, and I forgot to mention …… this was a friendly....

That was Diogo in one image. We all knew he deserved to play more for Portugal, but even from the bench he was humble enough to help the team....

I think all we can do is to chase his dream. He wanted so badly to see Portugal become world champions. We won’t just be fighting for our country.

We’ll be fighting for Diogo.”

🚨Sir Alex Ferguson:

"I got angry with Evra when he didn't jump with Cristiano. Then I saw the replay. I thought… ‘what am I talking about?’

I felt a little stupid because in the replay, Cristiano's knee is as high as Evra’s head.”

[DREN!! @City_Dren]

🚨Mbappé: "I Thought of Cristiano and Did Exactly That"

When they scored, my teammates became demoralized. I even saw the coach throw his water bottle in frustration. I told them all to calm down - including the fans.

We kept passing the ball around, and Olise found me in a good position. The first thing that came to my mind was how Cristiano does it… and I did exactly that.
