Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spain’s FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina.
🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “Tonight I lifted the World Cup for Spain, but I also experienced something I’ll tell my children one day. The man who once held me as a baby was standing on the other side of the pitch, fighting for the same dream. Football has a beautiful way of bringing stories full circle.”
“When I looked at Messi after the final whistle, I didn’t just see an opponent. I saw the player who made millions of kids, including me, believe football could be art. I saw the man whose videos I watched over and over, trying to copy things that nobody else could do.”
“I know this defeat will hurt him. You don’t play with that much passion, carry your country again and again, and lose a World Cup final without feeling pain. Even in defeat, he kept demanding the ball, creating chances and refusing to stop believing. That’s what champions do.”
“People will talk about Spain winning this World Cup, and they should. But they’ll also remember that, at an age when most legends have already retired, Messi was still making the world’s best defenders panic every time he touched the ball. That’s extraordinary.”
“The photo of Messi bathing me became one of football’s most iconic images. Today we took another picture together, but this time I could thank him face to face. Without players like him, kids like me wouldn’t dare dream this big.”
“One day another generation will replace mine too. That’s football. But there will never be another Lionel Messi. Records can be broken and trophies can be won, but inspiring an entire generation to fall in love with the game is something only a few people in history will ever achieve.”
“Tonight belongs to Spain. Tomorrow, the debates will continue. But my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He didn’t need to win this final to prove who he is. For me, he’ll always be one of the greatest players football has ever seen, and sharing the pitch with him was a privilege I’ll carry for the rest of my life.”
🚨 Lothar Matthäus on Germany crashing out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeat to Paraguay:
🗣️ “I am absolutely furious. This is not the Germany I know, and it’s certainly not the Germany I fought for. To be eliminated from the World Cup like this is unacceptable. Every player, every coach and every person involved with this team has to look in the mirror after tonight because this performance was nowhere near the standards expected of Germany.”
“You cannot wear the Germany shirt and play with so little urgency, so little aggression and so little belief. Paraguay fought for every ball like their lives depended on it, while Germany looked nervous, passive and completely out of ideas when the pressure arrived. We had enough quality to win this match, but football isn’t won by talent alone. It’s won by character, mentality and the willingness to suffer for your country.”
“I don’t want to hear excuses about bad luck, referees or penalties. Champions don’t hide behind excuses—they take responsibility. This defeat should hurt for a very long time because it was completely avoidable. Germany have let an entire nation down tonight. Credit to Paraguay, they deserved every second of this victory because they showed courage, discipline and heart. Germany forgot what it truly means to fight for this badge, and for me, that is the most painful part of all.”

🚨🇵🇾 Zlatan Ibrahimović: “Paraguay Didn’t Make History—They Took It.”
“People love to talk about history, but history doesn’t protect you when the whistle blows. Germany arrived carrying four World Cups, decades of success and a reputation that intimidates almost every opponent. Paraguay didn’t care about any of that. They came to write their own chapter, and now they will be remembered as the first nation ever to eliminate Germany on penalties in a World Cup knockout match. That is not luck—that is courage.”
“Everyone expected Germany to find a way. They had the possession, they had the chances, they even thought they had found the winning goal before VAR took it away. Then came the penalty shootout, where pressure separates men from legends. Paraguay never blinked. They stood there, looked Germany in the eye and refused to surrender. That’s the mentality I respect more than anything.”
“People will spend days debating the VAR decision or the missed penalty, but football doesn’t remember excuses. It remembers winners. Paraguay didn’t ask for sympathy, they didn’t ask anyone to believe in them. They earned everything with discipline, sacrifice and absolute belief. Every tackle, every block, every save and every penalty carried the weight of a nation that refused to accept defeat.”
“I also have to give enormous credit to Orlando Gill. Goalkeepers dream of nights like this. He gave his defenders confidence, frustrated Germany for 120 minutes and then became even bigger in the shootout. Those are performances that change careers forever. The entire back line defended like warriors because they trusted the man behind them.”
“This victory is bigger than reaching the next round. Generations of Paraguayan players will grow up knowing that this team achieved something no other country had ever done. They stood on the biggest stage in football and defeated Germany in a World Cup penalty shootout. That record belongs to Paraguay forever. Nobody can erase it.”
“Germany will recover because great football nations always do. But tonight belongs to Paraguay. They didn’t beat Germany with fear, they beat them with belief. And when a small football nation believes harder than a giant, history changes. That’s exactly what happened tonight.”
