Unfortunately,any nigga that spends 4 years in the MLS and comes back to outplay everyone on the biggest stage deserves the Ballon D'Or

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

No footballer, dead or alive, has ever carried a team to the World Cup final three times. None. Sorry, except Lionel Messi.

[Mod @CFCMods]

Still find it crazy that Di Maria, Xavi and Iniesta carried Messi to another World Cup final and no one is talking about it

Things that only happen at the best club in the world 💙❤️

Every major leaderboard at the 2026 FIFA World Cup tells the same story:

A different superstar is chasing Lionel Messi.

Kylian Mbappé — 11 goal contributions.
Lamine Yamal — 22 completed dribbles.
Leandro Trossard — 17 chances created.
Michael Olise — 5 big chances created.
Kylian Mbappé — 8.43 average rating.
Kylian Mbappé — 4 Player of the Match awards.

And above all of them?

Lionel Messi.

12 goal contributions — most.
24 completed dribbles — most.
21 chances created — most.
8 big chances created — most.
8.73 average rating — highest.
5 Player of the Match awards — most.
8 goals — joint-most.
4 assists.

At 39 years old.
In another World Cup final.

Some players give you goals.
Some give you creativity.
Some give you dribbling.

If you want everything in one player, there is Lionel Messi. 🇦🇷🐐

No one comes close.

A FUCKING WORLD CUP FINALIST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[nicole @bvrcelona]

this is a sensitive topic for me.

[Light @lightfinisher]

Messi has 12 WC assists and 10 of them are in the KO’s. Clutch.

[Patrick Kidd @patrick_kidd]

And so the World Cup final will be between two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

[Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117]

Guardiola influenced Spain’s 2010 World Cup, Germany in 2014, Argentina in 2022 (Messi) and now 2026 with Argentina vs Spain.

[Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117]

So much whining about the referees in both semifinal matches just for them to do a great job.

[Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117]

Everyone thought it was going to be Mbappe vs Haaland after 2022 but it’s 2026 and actually Messi vs Yamal, the baby which he baptized.

[Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117]

This World Cup final is the grand finale to everything g that Guardiola build since 2008. He made Rodri become an all timer and perfected Messi. Pep, you better be there on Sunday!!!!

[Sxnti @PeakSxnti]

After this tournament if you say with a clear conscience that Messi is not the greatest player you've ever watched you're lying. Walahi you're lying. I give up.

[Warona @plugsburner]

Shit was so serious Messi was crossing with his right

Football is not scripted, it just revolves around Barcelona. That’s all.
