The World Cup winner was also asked about Lionel Messi, with quotes via Telegraph India:
“After the match against the Netherlands we knew we would be champions. And when we won the Cup, Messi hugged me and told me ‘You have won us the Cup’. It’s a night I will never forget.
“He is from another planet. Messi is irreplaceable. If he decides to retire before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we have to respect his decision.
“With or without Messi, we will give our all to defend the World Cup.”
