I care like mad!

[Happiness. 🇿🇦 @MirthCity]

The greatest lie I’ve ever told myself was that I don’t care if Messi wins or not this year. Turns out I care, A LOT!

[Nathaniel Bassey @nathanielblow]

Kai! The number of people against Messi and Argentina tonight, eh ! 😂.
Is it a crime to be great …😂
Na wa o…😂

[Ray Touchline @RayTouchline]

You’re worried about the corruption agenda, when some of us even want it to happen in real life, so that by the time we are done winning it all, the next generation will watch Messi’s videos and never doubt that he won them.

Any Messi fan who is still bothered by the corruption allegations is not a serious person. They called Messi a FIFA boy when he won the Ballon d’Or four times in a row; they wouldn’t stop now.

[Barz 🇦🇷🇪🇸 @FCB_Barz]

History will remember that there was a guy so unbelievably good that people started calling his achievements rigged 😭

To the little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷,

One who was once too quiet, too fragile, too weak, too small - with a body that betrayed him but with dreams strong enough to power through.

The little boy from Rosario who left home before he was ready, burdened with the hopes of millions before he was old enough to carry his own.

To that little boy, I write as tonight might be your final dance. 🇦🇷 🇪🇸

You conquered Europe, conquered every record that they said would never fall - to the world, you were an undisputed genius but everytime you put on the Argentine camiseta, he felt like a curse trailed you.

One final lost after another. What mattered to you the most, to bring joy to the cot that cradled you was constantly out of your reach.

Every defeat you suffered kept reminding us, that maybe, you're just as human as we are.

Every time you cried from the bench with swollen feet, we watched and are reminded, maybe you're just as human.

You retired and we thought your story was over - we could still make peace with the joy you've given us from club spectacle.

Like the Phoenix that you are, you rose from the ashes that was designed to bury you - you walked back into storms that was orchestrated to sink you.

My dear little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷,

you walked back to the pitch - fingers pointed to your grandmother who first believed, doubled the joy you've always brought us, fulfilled your lifelong dreams, made new records and broke your own records.

I'm not even Argentine but you've spurred me to permanently chant:

"Soy hincha de la Selección,
La aliento con el corazón
Ganamos la tercera con Lionel
Queremos ser campeones otra vez"

Tonight is not just another final, Muchacho. Tonight is not just about the hunt for another trophy, Lionel.

Tonight is about the compression of a 2-decade story line from 2006 to 2026.

All the tears, heartbreaks, all the doubts & how you repeatedly resurrected with no points left to prove.

We might not have existed in the times of Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, Michangelo, Plato, Isaac Newton - but it's been the absolute privilege of our lives to have existed while you did, the absolute honor of our lives to have been your audience.

Long after stadiums rot into the ground in silence, and goals get forgotten - we will always remember how you made us feel.

One day when we're all frail and rottening in our grandpa era, our grandchildren will feel electric surges just from touching us - and it will be difficult for us to explain that it was your gift to us 70 years back.

Maybe your last dance, maybe one more dance - but we're privileged to be dancing with you again, Mi Capitan.

🐐 🇦🇷

Amen🙏🏾

[MissYem K @YemisiKolaa]

Dear Lord,

It feels like 18-12-2022 again.

We come before You with hearts overflowing with gratitude.

We only asked for just 1 international trophy, & and you happen to give us four in a row.

You turned years of waiting into an era we will tell our children about. You gave us memories that will live with us forever.

For every celebration, every pain and sadness, every tear of joy, every impossible moment made real… WE THANK YOU.

But Lord, if it is Your will…

Just one more.

One last time.

One more chapter to complete this unforgettable story. 🤲🧎‍♀️‍➡️🥹

“I love Messi but”

You cannot say you love Messi and still want him to lose 2 World Cup finals. It’s not possible

[L E S E D I @_Hybreed_]

What a privilege to be able to see, hear, breathe, walk & talk.

[Doctor X @doctorxisme]

Some can act but have no script!!
Some have script but cannot act!!

WE HAVE SCRIPT AND WE CAN ACT, GLORY BE TO THEE, OH LORD
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

Again, if you're a bad or arrogant person, people won't be doing this for you. It is simply not possible.

These guys are also big players in their rights.

Enzo plays for Chelsea, MacAllister for Liverpool, Lisandro for United, Romero is a captain for Spurs, Lautaro a king in Milan and a captain of the team, Otamendi has touched the biggest clubs, Alvarez has won everything there is to win, Simeone and Molina for Atletico, Paredes has touched the biggest clubs in Italy...

These are big players in their rights, but why do they all submit to Messi? Like why????

Why do they want to die for him?

[Emmanuel Echeta @PenTitan]

You support Messi because he played for your club

I support Messi because he's the best in the world

We are not the same

[ChocoTribe 🇦🇷 @Debbybruno3]

Lamine Yamal at 19 made a World Cup final before Ronaldo

Your Goat is a camel 😭😂

[stark @stark_356]

Most of his fans and APC supporters are in the same WhatsApp group

[Oluwadamilare Ffs 🌺 @xxfw1da]

I'm convinced Ronaldo fans are a social experiment to test how far the human stupidity can go at this point.

[FCBMANUELJR 🔟 @manueljr1000]

If Messi Qualifies we celebrate
If Messi is eliminated, we pull out pictures of the trophy
You can’t beat us 😂😂😂

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

the more i study Scripture, the more convinced i become that Satan’s greatest weapon isn’t power. it’s deception.

[Berneese @theberneese]

If Argentina wins If Argentina lose

[Nike Adeyemi @NikeAdeyemi]

Dear Lord, let my character be more relevant and impactful than my title.

[Uche Jombo @uchejombo]

You lots act like there’s a law somewhere stating you must hate Ronaldo to love Messi 😩 grown men 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️

[Oku @oku_yungx]

Do we have women supporting MESSI?

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

Sørloth is the first player to keep him from scoring.
