“Remember when Messi quit the Argentina national team” is my favorite mens version of “remember when Marta quit the Brazil national team”
In November 2005, Messi was part of the Barca team that beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabeu. Zinedine Zidane was part of the losing side.
Over 20 years later, Messi was scoring against Zidane’s son at the World Cup.
PSA for those with seats in row Z behind the goals in Houston later: take protection, the last thing you want to do is be blasted by one of his many, many whiffed free kicks
Yesterday was the day of draws, today is superstars being superstars.
Mbappe banger earlier, Messi with a banger for the first half lead just now. Absolute cinema today.
I keep forgetting zizou’s kid is the algerian keeper
god i wish i could see him play in person just once in my life
imagine telling an 18-year-old messi that he would bag his first ever world cup hatty at age 38 in kansas city to tie the world cup scoring record
