Lionel Messi, the football legend, has finally achieved one of the most sought-after accolades in his illustrious career – The FIFA World Cup.
After helping Argentina secure a dramatic 4-2 penalty win following a thrilling 3-3 fulltime draw against a Kylian Mbappe-inspired France, Messi joined the ranks of Zinedine Zidane, Pele, and Diego Maradona.
At the age of 35, and having confirmed that it would be his final football match for Argentina, Messi emotionally raised the trophy on Sunday evening, December 18, amid resounding cheers from the crowd in Qatar.
