This is the final moment of the journey that began 20 years ago
Messi cried twice—or maybe three times—today.
He was in tears the whole time.
After the loss, when he received the silver medal, there wasn’t a single moment when he wasn’t crying!
At first glance, you might think Messi is crying because he lost the World Cup, but the truth is that these are tears of farewell.
He’s saying goodbye to everything related to the World Cup—this is the final moment of a journey that began 20 years ago!
He doesn’t feel any pressure after the defeat because he’s already won the World Cup before and left his mark on the game.
He’s now experiencing the hardest moment of his career—a moment when he’s saying, “Goodbye, soccer. Goodbye, World Cup.
The journey is over!”
History will record that Argentina reached two consecutive World Cup finals during Messi’s era—thanks to the 35- and 39-year-old Messi. Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.
Yesterday, Messi said goodbye to the Argentine national team because it was his last day with them, and he left them this beautiful message
“The best part of all these years wasn’t just the championships, but the entire journey—sharing daily life with this group, competing together, picking ourselves up again in the toughest moments, and enjoying every step along the way.
Thank you to each and every one of my teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone who works every day to make this national team one big family. No matter what happens tomorrow, this group has already written a story we’ll never forget—and no one will ever erase it.”
Perhaps what Messi was looking for most with Argentina was peace of mind—and that’s what he couldn’t find until 2016, because he didn’t have a group that shared his drive, nor did he have fans who stood by him in the face of defeat, and he shouldered all the criticism alone with the phrase, “I’m a failure.” ”
But as fate would have it, at the end of his career, Messi found a true team willing to sacrifice everything to fulfill their captain’s dreams—a team that lifted all the pressure off Messi and made him smile during his final training session with Argentina, because the end of the journey was greater than he could have ever imagined!
Whether Messi wins or loses today, the outcome is the same:
he has achieved everything and become Argentina’s greatest legend.
