Now 6 years later, he won a World Cup !! Love the comeback story from him where he overcome so much criticism from his own people and even in his health earlier on his career. What a story!
When you look at all these old videos of him disappointed with himself, losing finals, looking like he’s done trying to win for his country, and then you just watch him winning the COPA AMERICA live, it hits different. Like Ray Hudson said, I really cried tears of the size of pineapple chunks. It made me so happy to see a smile stuck to his face and him celebrating with his teammates that aren’t playing for BARÇA.
@@thedeviousgreek1540 how dare you say anything about the lord pionel pussi😡. Him lifting the trophy was remarkably the most alien-like robbery in the history of football. So proud that my idol is no other that the only "pionel pussi the fraud"
@Akif mbappe won world cup before messi get 2022 world cup that doesnt make any sense that mbappe is not goat and got wc and messi got world in 2022 and his the goat like mbappe is real goat faster than messi
This has GOT to be the most incredible career second wind in sports history, ever. People who haven't followed him for a long while won't understand just how long and sad Messi's career was to follow throughout a lot of the 2010s, especially around the middle, after it looked like he was destined to everything that came in his wake. After the Barca years started declining, he got his chance at a world cup and ended up being unable to claim it at the last moment. Since then it looked like he was destined to be overshadowed - He lost the Ballon d'Or that year (And then 3 more times in 2016-2018). His rival club achieved a 3peat at the Champions League soon after while his club started slowly decaying to the point that he found it almost unbareable to play for them in 2020. Sponsorships and social media attention were all going straight to his generational rival CR7 (Even though that was more media than anything else) while Messi's value as a player and brand seemed to slowly dwindle. And the absolute peak of the worst of the worst was 2016, TWO Copa America finals lost in a row, two times where he was denied what he wanted the most out of anything else - a trophy with Argentina. This was the FIFTH final for Argentina he had participated in and he lost all of them. Kun Agüero stated, after the 2016 Copa, that he had never seen Messi more destroyed than this loss, and the worst is he most likely blamed himself because he missed his penalty shot. Messi didn't cry in the 2014 final. You could see he was crushed, but he didn't cry. For this, he couldn't take it anymore and very nearly bawled in front of the whole world. He was so devasted that he quit, then was convinced to stay but nothing seemed to change. 2018 seemed like the kiss of death, a manager that no one on the team liked, no fresh faces, his long time friends leaving the team, and he was 31 years old, an age where most footballers would be ready to retire from national teams or even football as a whole. After the 2018 WC Messi didn't participate in anymore games with Argentina for the rest of the year and Agüero had mentioned that he was depressed. Messi after possibly the best career start anyone has ever achieved seemed destined to dwindle into constant "almost, but not quite" no matter how much he tried, until he was ready to hang up the boots for good. But then all of a sudden, something changed. After Scaloni and Aimar successfully convinced him to give the NT one more try, something changed in Messi and Argentina. The team was rebuilt almost from scratch, and Messi finally started becoming a more integral part of the group after being criticized for not being "Argentinian" enough. Since then, in just 2 short years, he has: 2 more ballon d'ors (third one guaranteed unless Mbappé or Haaland go completely mental and Messi is in a coma) a Copa America victory, the first for Argentina in 28 years a Finalissima victory He is again in a club that can legitimately challenge the Champions League title after Barca all but lost their way (Though not without growing pains, he needed a season to adjust to the change) and now the best of all, he is a world champion, two time Fifa World Cup Golden Ball winner (only player to achieve this in fact) and has 100% buried the GOAT debate in the dust, achieving every single thing his generational rival has achieved and far more on a national level and with the only major achievement left to conquer being a fifth Champions League. And all of this was done when he's in his mid 30s, an age most would consider just about ancient for international football which heavily skews to young players and pretty old in general. By this point Messi's career should be winding down, he should be struggling to finish games, he should be playing out of the bench more often. Instead, he just finished playing every single minute of a full 7-game tournament (2 of those games going 120 mins) where he was involved in 10 out of 12 goals from his team, was the man of the tournament, and he has turned everything around into the biggest peak ever of his entire career by coronating himself and his country for the first time in almost 40 years. At this moment in time, he might just have become the most famous athlete in the entire world. Words can't express how much I love this man. I feel privileged to have grown up watching him play, seeing him in his prime when he was a kid that no one could contain, then seeing him suffer only to finally see him get all the success he has always deserved, every last one, not only on an individual level but for his country. Him, and Di Maria and Dibu and Enzo and Julian and everyone else, and Argentina, all deserve it so much.
There was never a GOAT debate in the first place. Messi clearly has always been better than Ronaldo even without a World Cup. Clearly has always been an undisputed GOAT even during his rough seasons with Barça and Argentina. Now with a World Cup, not even the media that created the unnecessary debate in the first place, can ever deny that he is indeed the GOAT.
@@nikosofidemporas Oh it's definitely more poetic. But even as the biggest admirer of Messi, R9 coming back from probably the worst injury to one of the most talented players ever and getting top scorer and winning the World Cup is an amazing comeback. But yes, Messi's international story has more drama and emotion to it.
6 years later, he has the Copa America, Finalissima, and World Cup titles all in 3 straight finals. While also leading them in goals and assists. Absolute hero, GOAT.
then he came back, and won three straight international finals, 2021 copa america, 2022 world cup, then cementing himself as the goat with one of the greatest world cup performances of all time, then only a few hours ago for me the 2024 copa america finals, brilliant. 🐐
The fact that he retired... Made the decision to quit... It just makes it all more beautiful... His decision to come back won him the world cup ! In the end he kept going and he did not give up... What a man
i dont think he is as upset about the miss penalty kick as he is frustrated about not having someone that can help him on atack collectively cause di maria, higuain, and aguero do a very mediocre job at it.
Stephen O i hope so too. But the team hasn't been productive in their last 3 wcq matches. last match in which they had an easy opponent (Bolivia)..they lost 2-0. He was suspended for four wcq games fortunately the ban was lifted after the appeal and they changed coaches. So, hopefully with the new coach and Messi back it will be different and it will turn things around.
Listen to the tone of utter deflation in his voice. Those Argentinians who verbally abused Messi by saying he had become Spanish or didn't have Maradona's strength of character should apologise to him right now. I am ecstatic for Messi in winning both the Copa America and world cup for Argentina. He deserves no less as Argentina's greatest ever footballer.
He actually won quite a long for argentina now after the last two years, he's won the u20 World Cup, Olympic gold for argentina, won the copa america, finalissima, world cup and could've won more if not for being unlucky in multiple finals in a row. He's also argentinas top scorer, top assister and most capped player in history
Well mind you, Argentine ppl are ignorant that Spain dominated football in the decade of 2008-2018. If Messi would’ve become Spanish, he would’ve been with Spain winning championships. But he still chose to stay with his origin country and look at him now. I swear, Argentine fans are toxic
@@luisa.barrueta1822 if messi played for spain, holy they would've won 3 world cups bcuz spain and spanish football is 1000x better shitty argentina who relied magic
......and then he came back and today he won the Copa America 2021 with Argentina. He also was the best player of the tournament, top goalscorer, had the most number of assists. Now I guess no one should have any doubts on why Messi is the GOAT. Don't give stupid logics like he didn't win the World Cup. Look back on the highlights of 2014. He literally carried the team the whole time.
He carried the team the entire tournament except the final. I think in the final everyone played exceptionally well, they all really fought to win it for HIM.
you guys have gold fish memory- when he lost previous Copas, it was poor Messi, his team is crap, Dimaria is shit etc--- now Dimaria scores the goal that brings the cup, and all glory goes to Messi---you messians are fony slippery characters. Messi played horribly in the final, but i bet would would say had it not been for him, they wouldn't be in the finals, and he scored the most goals with most assists... madness!
@@notyourmomyousnowflake3533 did you not hear Scaloni say Messi has been playing with a hamstring injury btw? Also, obv they're in the finals majorly cause of him! What's your point mate? Why are you so mad. You sound like a ronaldo fan lol
@@notyourmomyousnowflake3533 + his teammates and his coach wouldn't be chanting his name and saying interviews that he did deserve a trophy and that they wanted to win for him
Who is here after Messi just won his second Copa America? Copa America 2021 Finalissima 2022 World Cup 2022 Copa America 2024 The greatest come back and redemption in the history of football. Messi is the 🐐
@@Hanad3 The finalissima. Doesn't truly count but the fact that Argentina won it against an Italy undefeated in about 38 games shows their bottle and how far they have come.
@@amjadsiddig2085 Yeah ofc, it just functions as a supercup between the winners of Copa America and the Euros so it still counts as an international trophy.
@@IrishGuysScarf oh I see what you're saying, yes for me the crowning achievement is def the copa and world cup. Finalissima was just the cherry on top
Lost 3 finals was criticized and then retired. Then came back and won everything with argentina ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hollywood should make a movie about it. Seriously, the best journey and comeback in sports history.
New messi fans will never know the pain we had to endure in those days 😢 I still remember 13 year old me crying after gotze scored that goal in 2014 I had never cried over a football game that much. I was english but yet I felt heartbroken after that
tbh, i dnt think he will retire. i just think he's super salty after this defeat because he knows that maybe his best days are behind him n at his nxt major tourney he'll be 31. very unlucky though.
When messi retires it would be end of an era in football we may see players like cristiano in future but not GOAT like leo messi And i am a bayern munich fan no matter how much people troll about messi boateng incident i still say that Messi is GOAT
There has never been a player like Ronaldo in the history of the game. His blend of skill, goals and athleticism is unheard of in football. Messi on the other hand actually happens a lot. Messi is basically Maradona except that he isn't as good as Maradona. He is the same type of player though.
Lionel Scaloni, the manager of the current argentina team pleaded for messi to stay. Di Maria asked Messi to continue playing for Argentina and those hopes came true. He came back and won the Copa America, Finalissma, and the World Cup all in one go! This man's sheer will and dedication to succeed is really the best thing about him, greatest of all time. 🐐
5 Years Later In year 2021 Messi finally won his first Copa America title 2022 . He won Finalissima 2022. He won Fifa Wc 2024. He won his 2nd Copa America title What a Comeback by 🐐
Guys. You must understand, Messi cops constant criticism in Argentina for not winning anything, and is constantly compared to Maradona's achievements with the national team. He is sick of it and has had enough. I still dont agree with his decision to retire, however I feel its a decision made out of anger in the current moment, and I firmly believe he will be back and continue on with the national team in the 2018 world cup.
I can't imagine him continuing. I feel so sad for messi, but he did not step up when it actually mattered. Best player in history? No, but he's up there.
I would say hes the best player ever in club history. However his career on the international stage has been a dissapointment. And in my opinion the international stage is bigger than club. After all the World cup is the biggest achievement in football and he hasnt won it. Copa America isnt even that difficult to win either when you look at Argentina's players compared to other teams... I mean the Euro's is a lot harder to win in my opinion.
+SuperLfc8gerrard yea but some people think that just cause you have messi that means you should be winning. Messi tries so hard and helps so much, yet his players lack so much teamwork, and actually never bother to do anything other than maschrano.
He acted out of impulse right at that moment, but then thought it through later on, came back and now look at what he has won. I think we all knew he would come back and that this was just done out of emotion
It's 2021 and it still breaks my heart. It's sad to think that Messi could have completed football if Higuaín finished the chances in the WC 2014 Final.
Messi fanboys r toxic. Messi also missed a clear opportunity in the final against Germany fyi but you’ll never blame him. The fact is the better team won in 2014.
Do you ever think how unbelievable this is, so many people do horrible things and take no responsibility whatsoever, so many politicians - no moral, no leadership, never their fault. And here Messi said he would retire because he missed ONE PENALTY. Unbelievable. With everything he has done for his country! How lucky we are that he came back, won the Copa and the World Cup now! Really happy for him.
This pains me to watch Messi like this, he was not able to meet the eyes of the camera or even the reporter when he said that a victory is not made for him, he tried a lot and he failed, and how badly hurt and guilty he feels to miss the penalty, he is taking the complete blame and he actually thinks that he missed the penalty shot and it was his fault. Lio you are that legend who made me love football, who made me watch football, and its ridiculous to see that the greatest of all time has to prove himself and sacrifice his dreams at the cost of a trophy. Lio you are a LEGEND, you make people love Argentina, without you nobody will ever feel the same passion for football again.
Reflecting back on it now, after he won the Copa America and just now won the world cup... to think that if he had been iron clad on his retirement decision...he decided to return and it was the best decision of his life! Congrats, Leo, for your team, for your country, for your fans all over the world for showering them with so many wonderful moments. You are the greatest of all time!
He proved them wrong remember what his haters were saying back then after this final. Overrated, loser, international flop, nothing without barcelona xavi and iniesta and all those things. The greatest of all time seriously his journey with argentina needs to be a movie 🐐🐐🇦🇷🇦🇷
Or tevez. . . There's no doubt higuain is deadly when he's on fire but martino made a mistake calling him up this year knowing he's not really a big game player
i'm argentinian and i hate higuain.. with germany he miss a very easy goal and the same tonight and the last year.. he don't ran and it's listless. #higuainputo
When you look at all these old videos of him disappointed with himself, losing finals, looking like he’s done trying to win for his country, and then you just watch him winning the COPA AMERICA live, it hits different. Like Ray Hudson said, I really cried tears of the size of pineapple chunks. It made me so happy to see a smile stuck to his face and him celebrating with his teammates that aren’t playing for BARÇA.
Just imagine if he really did it.. probably Argentina wouldn't have won neither the World Cup nor the Copa America last year. We often forgot that even number ones like him pass through moments of struggle, but only the real legends keep pushing. Thanks god he didn't give up!! Congrats to Messi and Argentina
Messi retired from international football yesterday, his decision is the culmination of multiple issues, not only consecutive final defeats. The Argentina FA is among the most corrupt in the world, has exploited Messi’s brand to sell useless friendlies around the world. Messi is taken for granted like he has to literally carry his entire country to trophies no matter the circumstances, it’s sheer lunacy. You have the best player in the world, one of the best in history, treated like trash by part of his countrymen and exploited by the FA. I am happy to see Messi and Mascherano retire from Argentina, better to have them focus on club football and not more misery. Would Messi be the undoubtedly biggest player in history? It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, no player can possibly win everything by himself. Messi gets shat on because of other players, exploited by his FA and takes all the blame wherever the outcome isn’t positive.
i remember how much people humiliated him when he announced he's retiring, forgetting he is a human being too. but now he proved why he is still the goat and by winning copa america 2021 against brazil in brazil, finishing as top scorer and best player of the tournament. truly inspirational!
Messi you have to play for the joy of playing as if you were just a kid once again in the streets of Rosario. And whatever happens happened. Enjoy being who you are and what you can do. Forget about the things you can not do. God has given you a lot, but he has taken from a lot. Be thankful and never drop you head. We all know you have done your best.
Story of a great comeback. After heartbreak in 2014 wc final and 2016 copa America, and finally winning the wc 2022. The story Will be written in gold🇦🇷🇦🇷😊😊❤️❤️
Messi because of you only Argentina came into finals......you will definitely win this world cup.... don't retire.....pls....if u retire golden days of Argentina will be over pls.....
And today he is with 2 Copa Americas, 1 world cup and 1 finalissima in his Argentina Cabinet along with under 20 world cup ajs olympics Gold. This is the most beautiful story ever. He dethroned Maradona as the greatest ❤❤❤ ഏതേലും മലയാളി ഈ വഴി പോയാൽ ഒരു ഹൈ പറയാൻ മറക്കല്ലേ ❤
I just want to say that sometimes in life we lose but there’s always time to bounce back from those times stronger than ever… this man right here showed us what it means to be patient with time because we all get chances to comeback from those hard times stronger than ever Vamossss Messi idolo!!!! 🐐 🇦🇷
This truly is a story of never giving up. With so much pressure and so much criticism/hate from people, even some of your own countrymen, to rise up and do what he has now done with Argentina is nothing short of inspirational. It's like something out of a movie
After so much burden that he carried for the national team, today he prove to the world that he is the best. This depressed man and his team mate just won a World Cup 2022! Huge respect for this man! He is the greatest of all time!
Tomorrow messi will be playing in the wc final. Inshallah he will lift the trophy for all the football fans and especially for the Argentinan fans. All football fans and even Cristiano fans are with you Leo. Let's just go for a win on Sunday and win this beautiful trophy. It's not about the debate between Cristiano and messi. Vamos Argentina. Grande leo 🇦🇷

Messi’s story is one for documentaries and movies. It is an emotional rollercoaster with a happy ending at last. Hopefully he wins WC with Argentina just for the peace of his mind cause regardless of it he’s still the GOAT for me and millions of others.

a Copa America victory, the first for Argentina in 28 years
a Finalissima victory
He is again in a club that can legitimately challenge the Champions League title after Barca all but lost their way (Though not without growing pains, he needed a season to adjust to the change)
and now the best of all, he is a world champion, two time Fifa World Cup Golden Ball winner (only player to achieve this in fact) and has 100% buried the GOAT debate in the dust, achieving every single thing his generational rival has achieved and far more on a national level and with the only major achievement left to conquer being a fifth Champions League.

I'm a Pele and ronaldo phenomeno fan boy and I hate to say, messi has surpassed them
@@AbdullahHashi-kw3qj respect💯 messi truly is🐐
Well mind you, Argentine ppl are ignorant that Spain dominated football in the decade of 2008-2018. If Messi would’ve become Spanish, he would’ve been with Spain winning championships. But he still chose to stay with his origin country and look at him now. I swear, Argentine fans are toxic
@@luisa.barrueta1822 if messi played for spain, holy they would've won 3 world cups bcuz spain and spanish football is 1000x better shitty argentina who relied magic
Who's here after he won his first International trophy and ended 28-year pain...
Me
Me
And won the ultimate prize
I am here after he won The World Cup
Fast forward. He gave Argentina a TREBLE. Copa America , Finalissimo , finally the World Cup.
......and then he came back and today he won the Copa America 2021 with Argentina. He also was the best player of the tournament, top goalscorer, had the most number of assists. Now I guess no one should have any doubts on why Messi is the GOAT. Don't give stupid logics like he didn't win the World Cup. Look back on the highlights of 2014. He literally carried the team the whole time.
He carried the team the entire tournament except the final. I think in the final everyone played exceptionally well, they all really fought to win it for HIM.
you guys have gold fish memory- when he lost previous Copas, it was poor Messi, his team is crap, Dimaria is shit etc--- now Dimaria scores the goal that brings the cup, and all glory goes to Messi---you messians are fony slippery characters. Messi played horribly in the final, but i bet would would say had it not been for him, they wouldn't be in the finals, and he scored the most goals with most assists... madness!
@@notyourmomyousnowflake3533 did you not hear Scaloni say Messi has been playing with a hamstring injury btw? Also, obv they're in the finals majorly cause of him! What's your point mate? Why are you so mad. You sound like a ronaldo fan lol

@@IrishGuysScarf Italy was the winner of the Euros that year so it was special
@@amjadsiddig2085 Yeah ofc, it just functions as a supercup between the winners of Copa America and the Euros so it still counts as an international trophy.

Lost 3 finals was criticized and then retired.
Then came back and won everything with argentina ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seriously, the best journey and comeback in sports history.
He came back, won the Copa America, the Finalissima, the World Cup, and the Copa America again. GOAT. 🐐

New messi fans will never know the pain we had to endure in those days 😢 I still remember 13 year old me crying after gotze scored that goal in 2014 I had never cried over a football game that much. I was english but yet I felt heartbroken after that
AND NOW HE’S WON THE WORLD CUP
He won world cup 2022 and made us all cry of joy and hapiness
Thank god he decided to play for Argentina again. He had one of the best Copa america tournaments ever and won a trophy for the argentines
3 actually
I'm Ronaldo and Real Madrid fan, but I wish Messi to continue playing for Argentina. He is an awesome player and one of the best of all time.
Hala juve😅
@@rashidmo5724 😂
U still a Ronaldo fan ?
Best of all time
Your wish came true
and here is now, MESSI IS A WORLD CUP WINNER! NEVER GIVE UP
I'm not surprised. 3 consecutive major international finals lost. Probably destroyed him.
indeed
tbh, i dnt think he will retire. i just think he's super salty after this defeat because he knows that maybe his best days are behind him n at his nxt major tourney he'll be 31. very unlucky though.
I would be shattered, especially with the way that it was lost this year
Who wouldn't be, he carries his team,they didn't do anything to create play they all just passed the ball to Messi and expected him to carry them.
I totally agree, way too much quality in that team for them to be relying on one player like that, whether he's the best player in the world or not
Eder did for Ronaldo what Higuain couldn't do for Messi
Edit: WW3 in the comments... I feel like Gavrilo
403MC2 So true....
Higuain shouldn't have had to. Messi missed his own chance which is what cost Argentina every bit as much as Higuain missing.
do you people even hear what you are saying!!!!!!!
When messi retires it would be end of an era in football we may see players like cristiano in future but not GOAT like leo messi And i am a bayern munich fan no matter how much people troll about messi boateng incident i still say that Messi is GOAT
There has never been a player like Ronaldo in the history of the game. His blend of skill, goals and athleticism is unheard of in football.
Messi on the other hand actually happens a lot. Messi is basically Maradona except that he isn't as good as Maradona. He is the same type of player though.
Lionel Scaloni, the manager of the current argentina team pleaded for messi to stay. Di Maria asked Messi to continue playing for Argentina and those hopes came true. He came back and won the Copa America, Finalissma, and the World Cup all in one go! This man's sheer will and dedication to succeed is really the best thing about him, greatest of all time. 🐐
Now, He is WORLD CHAMPION.... greatest comeback ever.... Gracias, Messi
5 Years Later
In year 2021 Messi finally won his first Copa America title
2022 . He won Finalissima
2022. He won Fifa Wc
2024. He won his 2nd Copa America title
What a Comeback by 🐐
The Wait is over!!!!! 4 goals 5 assists Messi!!! Long live Martinez, De Paul, Di Maria, Messi and the whole squad!!!!
Messi's international career has to be the greatest comeback in the history of sports
Indeed
And now he is here winning most important trophy in his career
Vamos Argentina
Guys. You must understand, Messi cops constant criticism in Argentina for not winning anything, and is constantly compared to Maradona's achievements with the national team. He is sick of it and has had enough.
I still dont agree with his decision to retire, however I feel its a decision made out of anger in the current moment, and I firmly believe he will be back and continue on with the national team in the 2018 world cup.
I can't imagine him continuing. I feel so sad for messi, but he did not step up when it actually mattered. Best player in history? No, but he's up there.
I would say hes the best player ever in club history. However his career on the international stage has been a dissapointment. And in my opinion the international stage is bigger than club. After all the World cup is the biggest achievement in football and he hasnt won it. Copa America isnt even that difficult to win either when you look at Argentina's players compared to other teams... I mean the Euro's is a lot harder to win in my opinion.
+SuperLfc8gerrard i hope he changes his mind, he should prove all his critics wrong, not give up.
He's just very unlucky, I think he should try again in world cup 2018 in Russia, I'm a no fan of his but I think he deserves to win something at least
+SuperLfc8gerrard yea but some people think that just cause you have messi that means you should be winning. Messi tries so hard and helps so much, yet his players lack so much teamwork, and actually never bother to do anything other than maschrano.
And today, he won his 2nd Copa America title. 👑
Man, from that interview to now...
I dont wanna imagine if he actually went through with it. Thankfully we're in the proper timeline now.
He acted out of impulse right at that moment, but then thought it through later on, came back and now look at what he has won. I think we all knew he would come back and that this was just done out of emotion
Perfect way of describing NEVER GIVE UP.
Messi is an inspiration
8 years later.. world cup and 2 copa americas... NEVER, EVER GIVE UP
Remember watching this in 2016 I’d still had faith he will comeback and fulfill his dream
And today he's the copa America winnner... that's why you never know where you'll reach... congrats leo
Just came back to see this video after he won the world cup with argentina ❤ never give up bois
please support exmuslim movement in india
It's 2021 and it still breaks my heart. It's sad to think that Messi could have completed football if Higuaín finished the chances in the WC 2014 Final.
Well, there is no need to feel pain anymore. Argentina have just won the 2021 Copa América!
Argentina Campeon 🇦🇷🏆💙🤍
He missed chances aswell don’t shift blame to others
@@mejebiuwatse6797 just a fact higuain played like shit messi wouldve of scored with all the chances higuafraud had
Messi fanboys r toxic. Messi also missed a clear opportunity in the final against Germany fyi but you’ll never blame him. The fact is the better team won in 2014.
Do you ever think how unbelievable this is, so many people do horrible things and take no responsibility whatsoever, so many politicians - no moral, no leadership, never their fault. And here Messi said he would retire because he missed ONE PENALTY. Unbelievable. With everything he has done for his country! How lucky we are that he came back, won the Copa and the World Cup now! Really happy for him.
Sure hope he took responsibility for advertising Saudi Arabia which engages in slavery and other violations of human rights lol
Uk and USA are far worse
This pains me to watch Messi like this, he was not able to meet the eyes of the camera or even the reporter when he said that a victory is not made for him, he tried a lot and he failed, and how badly hurt and guilty he feels to miss the penalty, he is taking the complete blame and he actually thinks that he missed the penalty shot and it was his fault. Lio you are that legend who made me love football, who made me watch football, and its ridiculous to see that the greatest of all time has to prove himself and sacrifice his dreams at the cost of a trophy. Lio you are a LEGEND, you make people love Argentina, without you nobody will ever feel the same passion for football again.
u deserve a trophy for this speech
From 4 finals lost to 4 finals won What a Comeback story 🐐
Reflecting back on it now, after he won the Copa America and just now won the world cup... to think that if he had been iron clad on his retirement decision...he decided to return and it was the best decision of his life! Congrats, Leo, for your team, for your country, for your fans all over the world for showering them with so many wonderful moments. You are the greatest of all time!
He proved them wrong remember what his haters were saying back then after this final. Overrated, loser, international flop, nothing without barcelona xavi and iniesta and all those things. The greatest of all time seriously his journey with argentina needs to be a movie 🐐🐐🇦🇷🇦🇷
Who would have thought he would win 2022 football world cup for Argentina 6 year later.
And now this man has just won the WORLD CUP. Talk about longevity. GOAT 🇦🇷
Now he’s the Undisputed King of Football
fucking Gonzalo Higiuan... they should have taken Paulo Dybala.
Or tevez. . . There's no doubt higuain is deadly when he's on fire but martino made a mistake calling him up this year knowing he's not really a big game player
+Penaa11 You just took the words out of my mouth. Higuain isn't a GAME player
i'm argentinian and i hate higuain.. with germany he miss a very easy goal and the same tonight and the last year.. he don't ran and it's listless. #higuainputo
nobody wants Higuain in argentina,he's a cancer he lost 3 titles in italy,(dybala wins 3)he lost 3 final,he lost 3 1vs1,he lost everything.
i got a question for you #Argentinian mate, in your country do the people really hated Messi all the time? like maradona did?
6 years later he’s won the biggest prize of them all
The FIFA WORLD CUP
Stole it

When you look at all these old videos of him disappointed with himself, losing finals, looking like he’s done trying to win for his country, and then you just watch him winning the COPA AMERICA live, it hits different. Like Ray Hudson said, I really cried tears of the size of pineapple chunks. It made me so happy to see a smile stuck to his face and him celebrating with his teammates that aren’t playing for BARÇA.

Gotta salute this legend for not giving up and reverting back from retirement to hold the gold today. What an inspiration to the world!
Just imagine if he really did it.. probably Argentina wouldn't have won neither the World Cup nor the Copa America last year. We often forgot that even number ones like him pass through moments of struggle, but only the real legends keep pushing. Thanks god he didn't give up!! Congrats to Messi and Argentina
And now he’s a World Cup Champion. 🇦🇷🥇
This was heartache to watch but after six years today he WON Worldcup . This version of him will be proud 🥹 He didn’t gave up !!!!
I'll get proper English subtitles and add them in asap

Messi retired from international football yesterday, his decision is the culmination of multiple issues, not only consecutive final defeats. The Argentina FA is among the most corrupt in the world, has exploited Messi’s brand to sell useless friendlies around the world. Messi is taken for granted like he has to literally carry his entire country to trophies no matter the circumstances, it’s sheer lunacy. You have the best player in the world, one of the best in history, treated like trash by part of his countrymen and exploited by the FA. I am happy to see Messi and Mascherano retire from Argentina, better to have them focus on club football and not more misery. Would Messi be the undoubtedly biggest player in history? It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, no player can possibly win everything by himself. Messi gets shat on because of other players, exploited by his FA and takes all the blame wherever the outcome isn’t positive.
Not my text btw
Pretty shore Croatian FA is more corrupted but I heard Argentina FA is pretty bad one to
BCN.
Messi will be back in no time.
Don't believe him one bit.
There's just issues he's got to "deal" with.
not one of the best; actually the best ever.
you are absolutely right!!
And he won the World Cup 😍🇦🇷🐐
i remember how much people humiliated him when he announced he's retiring, forgetting he is a human being too. but now he proved why he is still the goat and by winning copa america 2021 against brazil in brazil, finishing as top scorer and best player of the tournament. truly inspirational!
From 2023 😂🎉❤

Messi you have to play for the joy of playing as if you were just a kid once again in the streets of Rosario. And whatever happens happened. Enjoy being who you are and what you can do. Forget about the things you can not do. God has given you a lot, but he has taken from a lot. Be thankful and never drop you head. We all know you have done your best.
