It’s done: Argentina is on the throne of the world after its victory against France, in the final of the World Cup in Qatar, in an already legendary scenario. Author of two goals during this final and an excellent competition in Qatar, the Pulga offered his country a World Cup so dreamed of. Enough to dedicate this success to the legend Diego Maradona, who died on November 25, 2020. Lionel Messi spoke at length following this crazy encounter during which the Albiceleste won their third star in their history: “This is all crazy. It took a long time and it’s good to bring her back here now. This victory is beautiful. We wanted her very much. I just said that Diego (Maradona) was going to give it to me. I had a feeling it was for him, seeing how it was going. It’s crazy, it made you want to, but it’s the most beautiful thing there is. Look what it is, it’s beautiful. I wanted her very badly. It’s time to be in Argentina to see how crazy it’s going to be. I can’t wait to be there to have fun with the people.” said Lionel Messi after the meeting at the microphone of Argentinian TV TyC Sport
“Obviously I wanted to end my career with this, I can’t ask for anything more. Thank God he gave me everything. To close my career almost like that is impressive. After that, what will there be? the Copa America, the World Cup… It came to me almost at the end. I like football, what I do. I like being in the national team, the group, I want to continue to live a few more matches being world champion. I wanted to end my career with this Cup, thank God he gave me everything. Almost end my career on that, because these are the last years, it’s impressive”concluded the PSG star.
