Messi’s sister kept the promise she made if Argentina won the World Cup

Realized dream. Promise me too… Maria Sol Messi Not only did he enjoy, like millions of Argentines, the feat of La Scaloneta in general and his brother Lionel in particular. Also, like 10 and so many others, he ended up dying to keep a promise before the World Cup…

Messi’s younger sister shared a photo with cup tattoos on her nets this week. wrote the 29-year-old clothing designer in an Instagram story. The glorious date of can be read under the design tattooed on his left arm December 18, 2022.

María Sol, who always accompanies Leo like the rest of the family, has chosen for the show to the artist Maxi Carreras, the same one who gave several tattoos to his sister-in-law, Antonela Roccuzzo.

Messi, he paved the way

One of those who paved the way for tattoos alluding to Qatar 2022 was Messi himself, who first tattooed the five of cups and then the three stars.

The history of the 5 of cups

In the documentary ‘Sean Eternals; champions of America’, which showed how the consecration in Copa América 2021 was experienced from the inside, the players recounted a meeting in one of the concentration rooms. Gradually, different members of the team joined a curious game: there were 10 attempts to guess the letter that would come out and if they succeeded… they would be champions of America.

All the players who passed understood this quickly, except Messi. La Pulga shot and didn’t hit, until at the last chance he called 5 of cups and went out. Why did Leo choose that? In his latest attempt, La Pulga wanted to choose one that had a connection with his career. There were four finals (Copa América 2007, World Cup 2014, Copa América 2015 and Copa América 2016) that he lost playing for the Argentina national team, that’s why the fifth had to be the charm.

Messi’s advance

In February of this year, Leo spoke to Olé and when asked about the tattoo, he answered: “The letter yes, the 5th cup because everyone made it and I think only me is missing, of us who were there. But no, Cup and that I have not thought of doing. Yes, the letter to obey as everyone did. I don’t know when, but I will soon.”

The 5 of cups in the World Cup final

This letter was talked about so much that it was present at the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. Once Gonzalo Montiel scored the last penalty against France and Argentina became champions, a photo recorded the exact moment of the player reaction. While some players of the national team ran towards Dibu y Cachete, Leandro Paredes preferred to go towards Messi. And at that moment the 5 of Cups was formed.. An image to remember.

Furthermore, if we look closely at the photo, we can find other coincidences: on the left are Huevo Acuña and Germán Pezzella, 8 and 6. Yes, they make 86, the year of the second star. In front is Lautaro Martínez, 22nd year from Qatar. Embracing the 10 is Leandro Paredes, 5, the number of the card in question. Believe or explode…
