Lionel Messi said that winning the World Cup with Argentina in 2022 made him as happy as the day his children were born. He said the feeling was so special that it was hard to describe. Messi finally achieved his biggest dream after missing the chance in 2014. In the World Cup final in Qatar, he scored two goals against France and helped Argentina win. His great performance throughout the tournament also won him the Golden Ball award for the best player.
Recently, Messi attended the American Business Forum where he was honored with the “key to the city” of Miami. At the event, he spoke about how emotional the World Cup win was for him and for the people of Argentina. He said the whole country celebrated because they had waited a long time for this victory. For Messi, winning the World Cup completed his football career.
While Messi shared his joy, Cristiano Ronaldo made a comment in an interview that seemed to downplay Argentina’s win. He said Argentina had already won two World Cups before Messi, suggesting it was normal for such strong countries to win big tournaments.
Messi also spoke about the next World Cup in 2026, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He has not confirmed if he will play, but said he expects the tournament to be incredible.
