Argentina had won two World Cup (in 1978 and 1986) before Messi's debut, and had won about 14 Copa America titles. It took the national almost 40 years to win another trophy, fourty good years in 2022. Now despite all Messi's accomplishments since his debut, that is, 35 titles in 17 seasons, Messi also won his first major international title in 2021 which was the Copa America, taking 16 years into his career, and almost 17 years to add the World Cup trophy to his collection.
Now during his years of Int'l trophy drought he was heavily criticized even by Argentines, especially after missing the crucial PK in 2016.
Messi lost four international finals back to back, almost quit the team, and had to struggle to win his first Copa America and World Cup, but all of a sudden it was rigged for him? Be serious.
🚨 الأسطورة ليو ميسي:
"أعتقد أن ما شعرنا به جميعًا كان ارتياحًا كبيرًا بسبب الطريقة التي سارت بها المباراة، لأنه ليس من السهل العود�� بعد التأخر 2-0. لكن كما أقول دائمًا، هذه المجموعة لا تستسلم أبدًا، وتواصل المحاولة حتى النهاية.
لحسن الحظ سجلنا هدف كوتي سريعًا، وكان لا يزال هناك وقت، وتمكنا من قلب النتيجة. ما قدمته هذه المجموعة اليوم في هذه المباراة كان جنونيًا بحق.
أنا سعيد جدًا لأن الجماهير ستواصل مرافقتنا والاستمتاع بما نقدمه، وآمل أن نواصل المشوار."
Messi must go, as far as he is around no player from the next generation can be best in the world... this man blew my mind tonight 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😭😭😭
