Disappointment etched the face of the Argentine superstar.
Among the most shocking moments of the 2026 World Cup that passed in… History from Sunday night (19/7), were Lionel Messi’s tears after losing the final against Spain.
The captain of Argentina and for many the greatest footballer of all time, although after the final whistle he remained speechless watching the celebrations of the Spaniards (Lamine Yamal was quick to hug him), when he received the second place medal with his teammates, he sat in front of the horseshoe where the fans of Argentina were, who adored him and they were thankful for everything he did for their country’s national team.
There, Messi couldn’t stand it and started crying, clearly moved and certainly saddened by the fact that he couldn’t give another World Cup to Argentina, in his last “performance” at the level of national teams…
