Lionel Messi has just one game left to earn the GOAT title
Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi has once again proved to the rest of the world why he is considered one of the greatest players of his generation at the Lusail stadium. The little magic sparked the fire of Argentine players to avenge Croatia, the 2018 World Cup runners-up who humiliated them in the group stages at Russia. They had their revenge in style, which inserted more pain into the Croats as the Copa America champion knocked their Golden generation out of the 2022 FIFA World cup.
The win was more than just revenge for Messi; now he has the opportunity to claim the GOAT throne. Fans and pundits still snub the seven times Ballon d’Or winner from the GOAT debate because he hasn’t won a World Cup. The World Cup was one of Pele or Maradona’s last remaining advantages when the opportunity to choose the greatest arose.
Messi has led the South American giants to the World Cup final for the second time in his international career. This might be his last chance to kiss the Holy grail, an opportunity his greatest rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, could only dream of. One last dance, one more dance, one more moment of brilliance, and the trophy are his to take.
Following the win against Luka Modric’s Croatia, Messi opened up about his feelings as he is once again close to either the ultimate glory or the biggest disappointment. He said in the post-match interview, “A lot of things are going through my head. Very excited to see all this. We have experienced something incredible during the whole World Cup. Now there is only one game to go,”.
Lionel Messi is enjoying his life as the captain of La Albiceleste
The Copa America win has indeed changed Lionel Messi. It made him a true ladder and a worrier who is hungry for more and enjoys every step he takes to conquer the dream. He has embraced the Argentine spirit of fighting till the end. Does it make the 2022 FIFA World Up the best of his career? Even Messi doesn’t have an answer to it.
“Is this my best World Cup? I don’t know. I’ve been enjoying it for a while now. Since we arrived in Qatar, we have enjoyed ourselves a lot. We started off losing against Saudi Arabia, but we always had faith,” said Lionel Messi.
He is thankful to his family, who has always been with him, and is ready to celebrate another special moment with them. He added, “Who am I thinking about at the moment? My family. They are the most important thing to me. We’ve had good times and bad times, but now it’s time for another great moment,”.
