Is Messi the Goat or Not? – The world cup game has got to be one of the best in the world as many players emerged victorious whereas some players despite performing well, couldn’t reach the finals or win the finals.
We can take players such as Kylian Mbappe as an example, who performed exceptionally well in the World Cup final against Argentina but could not win it for his team.
His team couldn’t win the world cup final against Argentina, but he won the golden boot as it was a close competition between the star player of Argentina, Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi had a total of 7 goals in the World Cup, but since Kylian Mbappe scored the hat trick in the final match between Argentina and France, he took a two-goal lead and won the golden boot.
In addition to the above, Kylian Mbappe was one of the best performers in the world cup with other star players such as Lionel Messi from Argentina, Di Maria, and many others. Ronaldo didnt perform because he was given a lesser chance to play.
However, since it was his last ever world cup match, most experts of the game, as well as the fans say that he should have been given a chance so he could prove to the world that, to date, he still can perform.
Apart from everything stated above after the final match ended, all eyes were on Lionel Messi because he had finally completed his last wish in the football world.
As the last penalty was scored, he fell on his feet and started crying in happiness. His team members quickly surrounded him and gathered around him to celebrate.
Let us now look at some of the achievements Lionel Messi acquired in his football career. He has won 7 Ballon d or along with 4 champion trophies and Copa America titles. In addition to their previous achievements, he has also won 10 La Liga titles and a la Liga 1 crown in his career at Paris Saint Germain.
However, the world cup trophy will be the one that will advocate the argument if he is the best in the world or not. A trophy made out of 15-inch-thick gold and making it difficult for the critics to find ways to prove he is still not the best in the world.
In addition to the above achievements, it is important to analyze those comparisons are not just made to the current generation. Most experts of the game as well as the supporters of Argentina are comparing Messi to football legends back home who are not even alive today.
Lionel Messi is compared to Argentinian football legends such as Maradona, who was also a spectacular player in his era. Messi’s name will now be written with legends of the game such as Ronaldo, Pele, and other legendary players.
However, it is also important to analyze that the credit for winning the world cup should not only be given to Lionel Messi only. We all know if those two goals were not saved by the keeper, the situation would be different this time.
We all know that if that one goal was scored, then there would have been no penalties. It is because if France scored that goal, they would have won. However, most of the credit should be given to lionel salon, the head coach of the Argentina team.
He had analysed the gameplay of the other players and saw what their weaknesses were and according to that adjusted their gameplay. However, Messi does deserve applause as he played an excellent game throughout the tournament.
