Today the world witnessed one of the most beautiful sporting stories. Life doesn’t always feel as complete as it did for Messi and his fans.
Messi didn’t need to win this world cup to be the GOAT. But he needed to win it for the ending of a fairy tale story.
When you see Messi play football you can see that he was born for this. The last player I felt the same about was Ronaldinho. His football was a treat to the eyes. But the difference is that Messi continued to be at the top for years. He never seemed to stop. That level of consistency and class is unheard of. He dominated club football for a long time. But one thing that people criticized him for was his performance in international football.
Well, he answered those critics over the past years. He ended up winning every international trophy he could for Argentina. He lost finals before and ended up retiring. But he came back and this world cup was his destiny.
I don’t have to talk much about the game. Argentina dominated the first 70 minutes. They were on the verge of an easy win. But Mbappe changed everything. We ultimately witnessed the best world cup final in history.
it would have been really cruel if Messi lost the penalty shootout. But Mess’s team was there for him. They pulled through. Everything came together to tell the greatest sporting story.
