And now we come to the 2022 World Cup which is going on as we speak and Argentina lost the first match to Saudi Arabia and everyone again thought that Lionel Messi was done but he was ready to show that he was not done and thus started the story of redemption. He performed excellently in the next 2 league matches against Mexico and Poland where he scored goals and then in the Round of 16 he scored a goal. In the Quarter Final he again scored a goal and had one of the assists of the year. Yet again in the semi final last night he scored a goal and had a brilliant assist.
The Redemption story is almost complete and Lionel Messi with 1 more win can cement himself as the Greatest of all time and his ultimate dream will be fulfilled. I, as a Lionel Messi fan, want nothing more than to see him life the World Cup on Sunday. He deserves it after everything he has given to football.
