🤯🐐🇦🇷 Lionel Messi — rewriting World Cup history.

🚨 THOMAS TUCHEL 🇩🇪 IS BEING SLAMMED BY THE ENGLISH PRESS AFTER ENGLAND'S ELIMINATION: 👇

🗞️ The Telegraph: "Everything seemed to be heading towards a historic victory. Instead, it turned into A DEFEAT THAT WILL GO DOWN IN INFAMY."

🗞️ The Sun: "THE DEVASTATING END OF ENGLAND'S DREAM."

🗞️ Sky Sports: "Did England really need to sit back SO EARLY?"

Brutal. 🥶

🚨 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Leo Messi is ONCE AGAIN the MVP, decisive with 2 assists in the semi-final between Argentina and England. 👑🇦🇷

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Thomas Tuchel: “There are millions of coaches who know it better after a defeat”.

“It was not a problem of structure. The match just changed completely. I make the decisions”.

🐐🇦🇷Thank you for the greatest final world cup run in football history!

Not Cristiano Ronaldo. Not Neymar Jr. Not Manuel Neuer. Not Luka Modrić. Not Kevin De Bruyne. It was always destined to be Lionel Messi.

With 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 matches, Messi has lit up the 2026 FIFA World Cup—leading the scoring charts, ranking among the top assist providers, and producing decisive moments throughout the knockout stages to guide Argentina into another World Cup final.

At 39 years old, with a legacy already beyond compare, the GOAT now stands one victory away from a second World Cup title in what could be his final appearance on football's biggest stage.

Only Lionel Messi could write a story like this.

THIS IS THE GREATNESS OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME. 🐐🏆🇦🇷

🚨 POSSESSION FROM GORDON'S OPENING GOAL (1-0) TO LAUTARO MARTÍNEZ'S WINNER (2-1): 📊

🇬🇧 England: 12%
🇦🇷 Argentina: 88%

Argentina completely took control of the game after going behind, barely allowing England a touch of the ball before completing the comeback. 🤯🐐

📊

🚨 A heartbroken Lionel Messi looked up at the clock as Argentina were losing 1-0 and heading OUT of the World Cup with less than 10 minutes to play... 🥺🇦🇷💔⬇️

It looked like the end of an era. The final chapter of the GOAT's World Cup story... 😔🐐

But then he remembered who he is...

LIONEL ANDRÉS MESSI. 😤👑🐐

And the rest... is MESSI. 🤯✨

He doesn't need 90 minutes to decide a game. He only needs ONE moment... and then another. 🎩⚽

With less than 10 minutes remaining, Messi produced TWO sensational assists to turn defeat into victory and send Argentina into yet another FIFA World Cup Final. 🇦🇷🏆🔥

When his team needed him the most... he delivered.

When the pressure was at its highest... he stayed the calmest.

When millions thought it was over... he rewrote the script once again. 🥶📖✨

At 39 years old, in his very first World Cup match against England, age meant absolutely nothing. Greatness has no expiration date. 🐐👑

Goal or assist in every single match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup... and when Argentina were seconds away from elimination, Messi stepped up once again.

This is why they call him THE GOAT. 🐐🇦🇷❤️🏆
