Messi ya ganó. De cualquier manera. Una cantidad enorme de personas lo admira y ama verlo jugar.
Otra triste cantidad llora por sus triunfos y están dolidos.
Y los demás jugadores tratan de ser mejores que él.
Los mira desde arriba y ya está. No tiene nada que demostrar.
🚨 Ralf Rangnick on Lionel Messi’s performance tonight:
🗣️ “What Messi did tonight… honestly, it’s difficult to put into words.
We spent the entire week preparing for him. Every training session was focused on how to limit his space, how to cut off his passing lanes, how to stop him between the lines. And still, he finds a way.
At his age, to play with that level of intensity, creativity, and intelligence—it’s just incredible. You think you’ve seen everything from him, and then he produces something like this.
There were moments we had two, three players around him, and it didn’t matter. One touch, one movement, and he’s gone. That’s not normal—that’s special.
When people talk about the greatest, you have to look at consistency at the highest level. For so many years, he’s not only matched the competition around him—including Cristiano—but in games like this, he shows he can still rise above it.
And now you see the younger generation, players like Mbappé at their peak, and Messi is still there, competing, still decisive. That tells you everything.
Tonight, we faced a player who reminds the world why he’s unique.” #ARGAUS
GUARDIOLA SOBRE EL RÉCORD DE MESSI
"La noticia no es que Leo haya batido otro récord. La noticia es que seguimos sorprendidos. Después de veinte años haciendo cosas extraordinarias, todavía consigue que el mundo del fútbol se detenga y diga: "¿Cómo puede hacerlo otra vez?"
"Convertirse en el máximo goleador de la historia de los Mundiales es algo gigantesco. Estamos hablando de la competición más difícil, la que juzga a los jugadores para siempre. Y aun así Leo ha encontrado la manera de dejar su nombre por encima de todos. Eso habla de talento, pero sobre todo habla de una longevidad y una mentalidad que nunca había visto".
"Cuando la gente analiza a Messi, suele contar goles. Yo creo que ese es el error. Los goles son la consecuencia. Lo verdaderamente único es que durante veinte años ha entendido el juego mejor que nadie. Hoy rompe un récord histórico, pero lo que me impresiona es que sigue viendo el fútbol unos segundos antes que el resto".
"Hay jugadores que marcan una época. Luego están Pelé, Maradona y algunos pocos más que marcan generaciones. Leo ha ido más allá. Ha marcado una era completa del fútbol mundial. Los niños que nacieron cuando él ya era una estrella hoy son adultos y siguen viéndolo romper récords".
"Lo más difícil en el deporte no es llegar. Es mantenerse. Y Leo no se ha mantenido; ha seguido evolucionando. Ha sido el mejor adolescente, el mejor jugador en su plenitud y ahora sigue siendo decisivo cuando muchos otros ya estarían retirados o viviendo de sus recuerdos".
"Este récord en los Mundiales tiene algo especial porque millones de personas entienden lo que significa esa camiseta, esa presión y ese escenario. Y aun así, cuando el partido se vuelve importante, el balón sigue encontrándolo a él".
"Muchas veces me preguntan qué hizo diferente Messi. La respuesta es sencilla: convirtió lo excepcional en rutina. Hoy todos hablan del máximo goleador de la historia de los Mundiales. Dentro de unos días parecerá normal. Y eso es exactamente lo que ha hecho Leo durante toda su carrera: normalizar lo imposible".
"Yo ya no tengo palabras nuevas para describirlo. Cada vez que creo que se acabaron los elogios, él inventa otro récord. Así que simplemente diré: gracias, Leo. Porque los entrenadores, los jugadores y los aficionados sabemos que estamos viendo algo que difícilmente volverá a repetirse".
🅾️🅾️ Wayne Rooney: On Lionel Messi performance against Austria:
“I’ll say this now, what we’re witnessing right now is just completely mental. I’ve played at the absolute highest level, I know what the physical toll of this game is, and Messi scoring twice today to break the all-time World Cup goal record? It’s just insane.
How are we all sitting here acting like this is normal? The man is 39 years old. At 39, most lads are sitting on a beach, or struggling to get out of bed for a Sunday league kickabout, let alone dominating the biggest tournament on Earth. It defies logic.
He’s out there gliding past players, reading the game three steps ahead of everyone else, and finishing like he’s still in his mid-twenties.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: anyone who still doubts Lionel Messi as the greatest to ever play the game simply is not mentally OK. It’s that simple.
There’s no footballing argument left to have. Even if your brain has been completely disconnected, your eyes alone just sitting there watching what he is doing on that pitch should tell you absolutely everything you need to know. You don't need a tactical breakdown. You just need to look at the screen. To do what he’s done throughout his career was incredible, but to reach the pinnacle of the World Cup record books at 39?
We will never, ever see anything like this again. We just need to stop trying to analyze it and appreciate that we're looking at the absolute best to ever lace up a pair of boots”
🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:
“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.
Not because he's my friend.
Not because of nostalgia.
Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.
I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.
It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.
One step to the left, defenders follow.
One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.
One glance over his shoulder panic.
That's not football.
That's psychological warfare.
And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.
They don't understand what they're watching.
Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.
He's Argentina's system.
He's their confidence.
He's their belief.
He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.
People ask me about the GOAT debate.
What debate?
Seriously.
What debate?
For me, there isn't one.
The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.
When I watch football, I don't see a debate.
I see Messi.
Then I see everybody else.
That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.
It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.
And today was another reminder.
He didn't need a hat-trick.
He didn't need to score from 40 yards.
He just needed to be Lionel Messi.
And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.
That's greatness.
Not when everything depends on you.
When everybody becomes better because you're there.
I've played against great players.
I've played with great players.
But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:
'This isn't normal.'
The scary thing?
Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.
And they still can't stop it.
That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.
Some players become legends.
Some players become icons.
Messi became a category of his own.
And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”
@Urieldesimoni Más respeto. Si solo vieras que mi primer posteo en FB es una foto de una cena con un T Rex, Mirtha, Moisés y yo, no dirias esas cosas jajaja. Abrazo!!!
