Back in 2016, Messi literally gave up and retired from Argentina because he couldn’t win.
He lost back to back Copa America to Chile and he decided to leave the international scene.
FIFA panicked about losing their cash cow, forced his return,
They changed the timeline of Copa America from every three years to every one year,
They brought Back Finalisima a tournament the same fifa stopped having.
and they handed him 5 penalties in Qatar to fix his legacy.
When we say FIFA rigged for Messi, this is exactly what we mean.

Vitinha just won back to back UCL trophies with a MOTM award but next season Pedri will do few spins against Elche and he will be called the best player in the world
Being a great coach means having the talent, but also getting yourself into the right context to be at the top, and capitalising on that context. It's a mix of talent and luck, but the most important thing is resilience.
