Messi had a very difficult path in the National Team since he won his first youth world cup at the age of 16.
He went through many teams and technical directors who did not know how to make the game with the ease that he did in his best days in Barcelona with Pep Guardiola.
In 2014 he had a lot of bad luck, a very good team that played a memorable match against Germany, champion of Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals. Argentina deserved to win that game but games are won, they are not deserved.
2018 was the worst moment and in 2019 when Leonel Scaloni and his collaborators entered, they made him captain and in command of the Selection.
Only of the previous selections there were 3 historical ones. His friends Kun Aguero, Angel Di Maria and Otamendi.
Kun withdrew due to heart disease, and Lionel plus Di Maria and Otamendi loaded the heavy backpack together with coach Scaloni.
They received countless criticisms here in Argentina, especially from the TyC Sports medium, which are some cheeks that celebrate today but I remember well when they were destroyed after the 2019 Copa América in which Argentina came out in 3rd place.
In 2021, already in the qualifiers, something different began to be seen.
The coach was not afraid of making changes, and changes and more changes, until everything led to the victory at the Maracana in Brazil against the local team 1-0 with a great goal from Angel Di Maria.
There, in that victory, there were already many very high performances, such as the midfield with Rodrigo de Paul at the helm and the appearance of a great goalkeeper for me with "el Dibu" Emiliano Martinez.
Then came the final with the winner of the Eurocapa Italy, won by Argentina 3-0.
In truth, after that victory, the whole country began to glimpse that important times were coming for this Selection, and especially we all wanted to see Messi win.
And thank God it happened.
Messi is the player who broke every record he is going around in Cups, be it clubs and World Cups.
He is an exceptional person, he is a great player, enlightened.
That he only needed to win what he won yesterday.
Winner of local cups in Barcelona and PSG.
Winner of the Champions league with Barcelona twice.
Intercontinental Club Cup winner twice.
Winner of the King's Cup.
Winner of the World Championship with the Under 20 Youth Team at the age of 16 in 2005.
Olympic medal winner in Beijing 2008
Sub world champion in Brazil 2014
Finalist of 3 Copa Americas runner-up
Winner in Copa America Brazil 2021
Winner of the final Cup against Italy in 2021
Fifa World Cup 2022 winner
You really can't ask for more.
This is the final touch to a fantastic career for me, the best player of all time.
Cheers dear Lionel Messi, the whole world is happy for your achievement and that of our National Team.
Thanks brother for your post.
