Argentina world champion: the national team is back to glory after 36 years and Messi is already a legend

had to suffer Messi. she had to suffer Argentina. But the suffering is over. It’s over. The fucking mother. Argentina is world champion. Yes, it’s not a dream. Messi is world champion. And it is justice. In Qatar. In a magical and exotic World Cup that left a magical and exotic final. Because if all the suffering is left behind, it was an apotheotic ending. With a Mbappé, in devil mode, scorer of three goals who saved France from a beating. But Argentina has Messi, who scored two goals. And it has Dibu Martínez who reappeared in the penalty shootout. And even earlier. And to enjoy. Because what just happened in this Lusail is history. La Scaloneta dominates the world. And Messi… Yes, Messi. And no more arguing, he’s the best of all time.

Emotions must be left behind as Messi embraces Celia, his mother. As the stadium exploded with madness. While players mingle with people. And it becomes impossible to write fluttering tears on the keyboard. But you have to talk about the game. Because Scaloni relaunched a perfect match. It was 80 minutes of overwhelming domination. A world dance. A dance interrupted because Mbappé is Messi’s heir. Nothing more.

Scaloni surprised by choosing Di María as owner. And he surprised again with Fideo outside left. It was a chess move, which included the entry of Cutter of Acuna take care of the full back of the ace of clubs of this team that will be unforgettable. Because there the Juventus player, who hadn’t played as a starter since the match against Poland, began to cause damage. And not only did he force Kundé to follow him, but he also made Dembélé work overtime.

But that play wasn’t the only one that Scaloni put on the chessboard. The squad was short, with centre-backs always keen to cut quickly, especially Cuti Romero, and with monumental work from Alexis MacAllister, Rodrigo De Paul and Enzo Fernandez. They managed the team from midfield and curiously turned Messi into a complementary player.

It’s not that Leo played those 45 minutes badly. quite the opposite. What happened is that this time it was others who pulled the cart.

Thus came the goal of imbalance. After relentless attempts, Julián opened for Di María. It looked like the ball was going long, but Fideo not only got there, but also braked and hooked inside. This is how he took advantage of Dembélé, who touched him from behind in full pursuit. Criminal. And Messi’s goal, the sixth of the tournament, in his 26th match, a world record.

The match stopped at that point. Argentina begins to erase from the field a France that is not even able to make the most of the electric game of Mbappé and Griezmann. It was, from then on, a dance. It culminated with a great goal that gave calm. Molina recovers, Mac Allister touches for Messi, Messi clears for Julián, Julián throws into the void for Alexis and Alexis, hand in hand, sees Di María enter, whom he only defines before Lloris exits. big goal.

France was not in the field. And Deschamps noticed it. Important operation: out the clumsy Dembélé and an isolated Giroud, in Kolo Muani and Thuram so that Mbappé remains center forward. Perhaps the problem wasn’t the points. The problem is that France could not have the ball against an Argentina that was multiplying. Messi also came down to recover.

Already in the second part France was still in a state of confusion. A couple of naive mistakes in the outputs. One side badly drawn. And Argentina calmly waited. The idea was to recover and get out quickly. Thus comes a volley from De Paul, after a cross from Di María controlled by Lloris. Thus a ball arrives in Fideo’s void that Julián, after a diagonal, forces the French captain to sink.

With half an hour to go, Argentina persisted. He came close with a prank from Di María, in Messi mode, after a recovery from Tagliafico. He takes it out to pass Koundé and sends in a cross that De Paul lets go and finds Messi. It was a pearl, but Rabiot arrived with just enough to close.

France, with some embarrassment, went looking for the discount. But he was still confused. And Argentina was ready to deliver the coup de grace. With a stoppage another match was born, the umpteenth one from Mac Allister, who came arm in arm after great management by Messi and Julián.

The Selection did not give away a metre. And to find more balance, Scaloni eliminated Di María, who still had a great game in a final, and put Acuña to make a tandem with Tagliafico.

He startled France with a cross from griezmann, the only one who seemed to show his face. From her feet the resurrection of France seemed to be born. But nothing happened for the Deschamps team. mbappe, who had just touched her in the complement, woke up and tried after a short run. Distant.

Deschamps once again put his hand in the Camavinga and Coman team for Theo and Griezmann. Yes, I eliminate Griezmann who was the best of his team. Rare. But time would prove him right. Mac Allister, another who went into Messi mode for a while, put together a play on the left, unload for the real Messi, who only found Enzo in the croissant. The shot was very focused. The third has not arrived.

But he didn’t worry. The superiority was remarkable. The “ole, ole, ole” from the podium began to fall. It was a party. But there is always a but.

He ran away thuram Y otamendi, which should have crossed to the right, lowered it. The only mistake up to that point ended up in discounting France. Mbappé took over and won the mental battle against I drew, who grazed the ball but was unable to get it out. Ten minutes to go. started another party.

A game that didn’t last. Because Mbappé, diabolical, has rekindled. Messi has lost a ball in midfield. Rabiot looked for the PSG phenomenon, the one who is not Messi, who lowered him to Thuram and returned him to touch. Volleyball and goals to be top scorer of the World Cup once again.

Two deadly minutes.

Don’t believe Football knows no justice. At least that’s how it seemed.

Argentina was trying to get out of the hole. But France was in a state of grace. Thuram has it from Mbappé’s cross. It didn’t come at all. Enzo stopped his foot just as Thuram bothered him again. The stadium was paralysed. But referee Szymon Marciniak, who managed the match well, scored for the other team and gave the striker a yellow card. Relief.

Hearts stopped again with an overflow from Coman finding Camavinga. Dibu appeared. Suspended, but appeared. The eight minute discount was already over. France continued with a calibrated view. Every attack was a goal hazard.

Messi had that in the end. The same. What usually does not fail. Lloris appeared in all his glory to send the ball for a corner. Stretch. Suffer.

The mini-vacation gave some peace to the Selection. Montiel entered through Molina, who had suffered from Thuram. The media has been turned back on. But not like before the double hit.

The party ended up in a freezer. Until Messi reappeared and put together a match with Enzo and Argentina had a double chance. Lautaro fails with Upamecano’s closing and Montiel takes the rebound and shoots it and Upamecano puts in a corner. He immediately had another Lautaro, left alone with Lloris and badly defined. It was offside. The selection ended better.

And it started even better. Messi tries with a volley that finds Lloris’ hands. And the prize has arrived. A postponement from the defense finds Lautaro, who takes him to Messi. Leo drove and unloaded for Toro, who was buttock-powered, and shot Lloris. The goalkeeper rebounded and the ball landed on Messi, who touched it to make Lusail explode again. Up again. Other times stroking the cup. But it was missing a lot.

the party was pure nerves. It seemed that Argentina was taking it. But another penalty, a hand ball by Montiel, still needed an equalizer for France with four minutes to go. And Mbappé was right again. Three goals in one final, something only England’s Hurst had accomplished in World Cup history.

Sanctions? There was nothing more to this wonderful ending. Dibu Martínez covered Kolo Muani’s last ball an anthology shortcut. Sanctions? No, Lautaro only headed after an overflow from Montiel and missed the goal. Now yes. Sanctions.

And penalties are Dibu’s specialty. He saved one, Coman’s, and intimidated Tchouameni, who threw her out. La Escaloneta has not failed. Neither Messi nor Dybala nor Paredes nor Montiel. And yes, the capable Diego made strength from the sky.

We will always have Qatar. “Come on Argentina, your mother’s shell. We are world champions,” shouted Messi, who was due to go to the Middle East to confirm that he is the king of the world. After not leaving record, the Argentine captain has hit the big goal of him. And he had the pleasure of lifting the cup that everyone wants to lift. Legend.

Doha, Qatar. Special delivery.
