Three years after Argentina’s triumph in Qatar, Lionel Messi continues to reflect on the depth of the emotion experienced. Invited to the America Business Forum, the world champion shared a statement that was both powerful and rare.
Lionel Messi cried. The whole world witnessed it on December 18, 2022. La Pulga was at the end of his journey; he had completed football. It was a crazy sensation that he tries to describe. “Even though it has nothing to do with it, when I won the World Cup at a professional level, I felt the same way as when my children were born. It’s a feeling that is hard to explain, so special and intense that I lack the words to describe it,” he said.
Messi clarifies that the two moments have nothing to do with each other, but that the intensity, emotional power, and explosion of happiness are comparable. This admission shows how much this title, long sought after, meant everything to him.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, sees things… differently
For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo recently discussed the 2026 World Cup in Piers Morgan Uncensored. And he couldn’t help but make a small comparison with Messi’s Argentina.
CR7 proudly reminded everyone: “How many World Cups has Argentina won without Messi? Two. Without me, Portugal has never won anything.”
A subtle way to remind everyone of his historical importance to his national team… while emphasizing that Argentina’s titles do not solely depend on Lionel Messi.
