Messi trained with the Argentina national team for the last time. The Argentina national team will play Benin on Tuesday and the team trained on Monday.
There will be a ceremony to honor Messi with World Cup champions set to be in attendance and Lionel Messi expected to give a speech.
what a story, we are all so blessed to live in his era. i hope those who passed before he won everything were able to watch on from heaven.
count your blessings folks, some of you were lucky enough to witness diego, but you have also been blessed with the presence of his successor. vamos argentina, vamos albiceleste.
tomorrow, i have set everything aside, and i will simply just enjoy his final game.
I am one of those. After Diego retired, it was painful many years watching world class greats like Batistuta, Crespo, Redondo, Vernon, Aimar, Simeone, Cannigia, Ayala, Zanneti, Samuel and others falling short on the World Cup conquest. Although the 1991 Copa victory gave me a lot of joy after watching a painful 90 WC final loss to the Krauts. Then came this one generational talent called Messi. I remember clearly seeing a lefty long haired boy in a preseason game vs Ajax. Commentator kept comparing his dazzling performance to Maradona without saying he also Argentine. When I discovered that he is a few weeks later, I thanked the universe for blessing us with another football gift. Thank you Leo for all the joys you gave me.
There won’t be a dry eye anywhere in sight.
