Leo Messi has done it!The seven time Ballon d'Or winner finally lifted
the trophy that eluded in his entire career. Now that he's a world champion does that mean the 'Goat' debate is officially over? Finally the day Messi and millions of Albi Celeste fans have been waiting for,World Cup victory Leo Messi completed football. Argentina beat France on penalties and won the World Cup after 36 years an instant classic even before the penalty shootout started the historic final saw two teams fight hard for the Ultimate Prize in football,but in the end the trophy in gold was raised by the hands of Leo Messi.For nearly two decades his name has been in the greatest of all time conversation for all the right reasons.
Centered around four greats of the game Pele,Maradona,Cristiano Ronaldo and lapuga himself the debate sold the entire footballing world from fans to pundits alike battle it out for years.Pele was the man who was synonymous with the World Cup after three victories and over 1,000 goals we're not gonna dwell on to the legitimacy of every single one of them.Then Kim Maradona with a god-given gift that many still consider to be unmatched then at the tail end of an incredible competition that's been on for the last decade between Messi and CR7 came the World Cup in Qatar.It was certainly going to be the last time the world get to see Messi and CR7 on the biggest stage.
CR7 had an amazing achievement of scoring in his fifth consecutive World Cup but lost in the round of 16.On the other hand Messi on his run all the way to Glory mesmerized,although the World Cup didn't started the way he wanted for his beloved AlbiCeleste as they went through one of if not the greatest episode of the tournament against Saudi Arabia,Messi showed great leadership to keep the ship of Lord as it was going through a thunderstorm of criticism.While Argentina's hopes were hanging by a threat against Mexico the captain delivered once again scoring an incredible goal to open the deadlock.His performance against L3 was a preview for the things he'd do for the rest of the tournament every time his team needed him he was there in the most amazing way.
Whether to dribble past Defenders a decade younger than him or to assist teammates that grew up idolizing him oh and to score of course the one thing that he can't stop doing.In Qatar lapuga became the second player since 1966 to score more than five goals while creating more than 20 chances for his team.The man who did the same thing before lapuga was of course Diego Armando Maradona prior to Qatar the Pulga was criticized for his lack of clinical finishing in The Knockout stages most people even believe that this was a curse and Messi not only broke that curse but completely erased
it from history as he became the only player in history to score in the group stage,round of 16,quarterfinal,semi-final and Final in a single edition of The Men's World Cup.The last two of his seven goals in Qatar made Messi the oldest player to score two goals in a World Cup final at age 35. Helping his team reach the title despite an incredible performance from his Superstar team.
Time will tell if Kylian Mbappe will be on the Goat debate but as for Messi and CR7 their individual last dances ended at opposite poles just like their fans every time they try to settle the Goat today.One week after Cristiano Ronaldo left Qatar crying his heart out Leo Messi was celebrating with tears of joy as he finally won the World Cup as the only man in World Cup history to become the man of the match in the last 16,Quarterfinal,Semi final and Final.Even before he lifted the World Cup trophy and was lifted himself by Aguero to celebrate the victory with the crowd Messi was called the Goat by millions around the world.
While he was taking his well-deserved Victory laps FIFA joined in the debate don't quote us on that obviously but the probability of Cristiano Ronaldo liking that tweet was calculated to be less than your chances of hitting the jackpot every single time for the rest of your life.Messi said he won't be leaving the AlbiCelestia just yet as he wants to play for the team as a world champion.Do you think lapuga has one more title to lift for his Nation do you think that he put the Goat debate to bed be sure to let us know?
