Twenty years. One legend. Lionel Andrés Messi.

"Sporting greats thrive on prodigal talent, self-belief, adrenaline and, most importantly, the applause from the fans. 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝘁. 𝗜𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁; 𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗽 🏆

He did precisely that in Doha in 2022, marshalling his unit to the ultimate glory, one that Maradona last secured in 1986. While the rest of the world loved him, to gain that emotion from his followers back home was special for Messi. Finally, Maradona’s shadow was cast aside as Messi glowed in his own luminescence 🦁🇦🇷..."
