Diego Maradona Junior wept tears of joy as Argentina laid its hands on the FIFA World Cup for the first time since his father led the Albiceleste to Mexico ...
Maradona's Instagram account, now administered by his children, showed a merged picture of Daniel Passarella, Maradona and Messi โ captains of the country's 1978, 1986 and 2022 winning teams โ each holding the World Cup trophy. He added in a post: "The cup is going to Buenos Aires." Now Lionel Messi has followed Maradona into the history books as the captain, number 10 and driving force of a team that has conquered the world.
Lionel Messi will no doubt be the focus of countless sports documentaries, and a film-industry leader wants to tell the legend's story.
Has longevity proven to the the deciding factor in settling the GOAT debate in Lionel Messi's favour?
โSo I sit on the fence in a way. Yeah, 20 years at the top level is ridiculous. Messi matched his idol by winning the 2022 World Cup.
