๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Lionel Messi: โScoring a GOAL in the World Cup FINAL is the best thing ever, right? Both of us can say that!โ ๐๐๐ค๐
๐ฃ๏ธ Zidane: โAbsolutely, nothing else beats that!โ ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฎโ๐จ
Two footballing GENIUSES. Two World Cup champions. Two legends who know exactly what it means to score on the biggest stage. ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ซ๐ท
Then Messi spoke about Zidane with nothing but admiration. โค๏ธ
๐ฃ๏ธ Leo Messi: โI am not saying this because he is here, but I have said it several times before. You (Zidane) are one of the greatest players in history, and I have always admired and loved you. I used to follow him a lot in Madrid and I also suffered from him a lot because I am from Barcelona.โ
โZidane's elegance, art, magic and everything. I have many memories of him, including his goal against Leverkusen in the Champions League final, his goals against Brazil in the World Cup final, the iconic spinning move he used to do, and the famous Valencia goal.โ โจ๐ซ๐ท
And when Zidane was asked to describe Messi, his answer was simply PERFECT. ๐
๐ฃ๏ธ Zidane: โDescribe Messi? It is just one word: โMAGICโ. I mean, Leo and I are not together every day. So today is a very important day for me because I can tell him how much I admire him. And I think it is magic, pure magic.โ
โMagic in the sense that before receiving the ball, he already knew what needed to be done.โ
โAnd especially for me, as someone who understands football, watching you [Messi] on the field, I almost knew what you were going to do. It was like a connection. When I see him doing what he does, I say: โThatโs itโ. So that's what people want to see in football.โ
โThere are few, but not like him. Very few, wellโฆ just only one.โ ๐ฅน๐
