Finally! At last the World Cup was in his hands. After many criticisms, doubts and questions, Lionel Messi could take her, kiss her, raise her to heaven as an offering to the gods of football Olympus.
Prior to Montiel’s penalty, Messi looks up at the sky and says… is now Diego… he implored the earthly god of Fiorito, that little bit of help to realize that dream elusive for years. Because he suffered when in 2014, in Brazil, Germany took away from his beloved Argentina the option of being able to shout for the third time in history.
Messi finally established himself as the great player he is. It is not my subject, nor would I either, to enter into that odious comparison with Maradona or Pelé. What he did was consummate his eternal entrance to the gallery of the greatest of this sport.
He was a leader all the time, he was an extraordinary player in the reading of the conflictive moments of the matches, he knew how to express his talent in the instances that were asked of him and he did not disappoint.
Messi’s World Cup was complete. No one will be able to question it. He was inspired, knowing that perhaps it was the last chance to take the drink in his hands and sleep with it.
You will be able to say task accomplished. There are all the awards he always wanted to have in his showcases. You can calmly reflect and point, I did. That’s it.
Today he enjoys his place, well earned and without question, in that list that only some of the best of all times have income. Therefore, his mission in football could be said to have been fully fulfilled. Maybe now, it will be the work of achieving the Champions League with PSG, where the Qatari owners, will surely be rubbing their hands, to hand in hand with their stars Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, also shout finally!
Everyone will want to demand something more from him. I think that’s not fair. He already did. Now that he enjoys everything he has left to play and share on a court, but the winning and competitive mentality will make him sure to continue adding triumphs and joys.
Messi is the Messiah. He succeeded. The people longed for him and fulfilled them in a superb and forceful way. No qualms or questioning.
