The captain of the Argentine national football team, Lionel Messi, by winning the World Cup, reached the only trophy he was missing.
With great games, Leo led the team to the title in Qatar.
“The realization of my dreams came at the end, after everything, after so much suffering and disappointment that I experienced with the national team. How many times have we been close to success and failed to win the trophy. For a long time, I received criticism from all sides, and I know that my family also suffered because of it. They always tried to show me that they are strong, that we are together in everything,” said the Argentine and added:
“I know that deep down they suffered too, not only because we didn’t win trophies, but because of all the criticism, ugly things. That really got to me. In the end, we closed the circle: we won the America’s Cup, we won the World Cup. There is nothing left. It’s over,” Messi said in an interview with Argentine media.
Lionel Messi regrets that Diego Maradona did not live to see how the “gauchos” raised the “goddess”.
“If he had been there, he would have handed me the cup. Diego wanted to see me lift that trophy. That picture would be beautiful. I believe that somewhere up there, Maradona and everyone else with him, cheered me and all of us on,” said Messi.
