The victory in the World Cup final was marked by Lionel Messi wearing a lucky red ribbon on his left foot. The Argentine football star carried this red ribbon for good luck, given to him by Argentine journalist Rama Pantarotto after missing a penalty against Iceland in the 2018 World Cup. Despite Pantarotto’s expectations of Messi discarding the ribbon, Messi surprised him by wearing it around his left ankle after scoring against Nigeria in the final group stage game. The sight of Messi donning the red ribbon in the dressing room after being crowned a world champion signifies its significance as a symbol of his success. Messi has embraced the idea of the lucky charm and continues to wear it in both his free time and during his most important matches.
