❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.
“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.
“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.
“I never managed to feel physically right”.
“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.
🚨🗣️Casemiro: “I want to make it clear that I spoke with LA Galaxy some time ago, and I said I would only play for Inter Miami. Because of the city that my family and I love, because of the project, and of course, because of Leo, one of the greatest in history. I thank Beckham, Jorge, and José for this wonderful opportunity.”
📲❤️🚨 Rodrigo De Paul: "This unforgettable journey comes to an end…
"It has been 50 days filled with memories, emotions, and moments that are now part of history.
"Thank you for your love, for feeling represented by this group, for the energy that carried us this far, and for taking our flag to every corner of the world.
"It is an immense pride to be Argentine and to live in the same era as this National Team, a team that will forever be written into the most important pages of our history.
"Now, there is one more step left. And that’s where we’re heading, together, with the same hope as always."

Reporter🗣️Stop Messi?
Iniesta🗣️: "It will be a collective effort to stop Leo… In the end, it comes down to a thousandth of a second or one second, and just two moments are enough to decide a match, and Leo usually creates those moments in every game.
Messi le consiguió cuatro entradas a Vozinha para que su mamá, su esposa y sus dos hijos puedan estar en la final.
Dentro de la cancha es el mejor de todos. Y afuera, una vez más, demuestra la enorme persona que es. 🇦🇷❤️
🚨🎙️ Interviewer: Zlatan, what do you think about people saying Messi couldn’t do it in the Premier League? And not training before the match
🗣️Zlatan Ibrahimović: Train? For Spence, Stones and O’Reilly? Messi didn’t even train against prime Manchester United. Yet he dunked 2 unforgettable assists on the whole country
🗣️Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Messi has the most goals & assists against England big 6 teams and he never played in England, at this point he owns England
🚨 Emi Martínez: "People saying we had an easy path to the final? We didn’t choose our opponents."
“For example, we had to face Portugal in the quarterfinals, but Colombia dominated against Portugal, then Switzerland beat Colombia, and we ended up playing Switzerland.
"It was tough. All the matches are tough.
"You just have to play and adapt."
🩵🤍 Dibu Martínez: “This Argentina team is a family”.
“I want us to be remembered like any Argentine: hardworking, never giving up and always finding a way forward, no matter how difficult things get. Just as we’re showing at this World Cup”.
