Don’t you dare speak that nonsense about Lionel Messi again.
Seven games. Seven goals. The captain and unquestionable leader of his team and best player in the tournament. He stood there and took every shot fired by Kylian Mbappé in the greatest World Cup Final ever. He was never knocked out.
When it came time for the penalty shootout, he played games with Hugo Lloris and sent him the wrong way for the second time on the night.
Sure, he got some help. It’s a team game after all. Rodrigo De Paul and Alexis Mac Allister played the game of their lives.
