Lionel Messi: What did Argentina star say when Montiel took World Cup final penalty?

-

 

It’s almost exactly one month since Lionel Messi achieved his lifelong dream of winning the World Cup with Argentina.

The 35-year-old further cemented his status as one of football’s all-time greats after inspiring his nation to glory in Qatar.

Messi was the star of tournament and deservedly received the Golden Ball award following a series of stunning individual performances, culminating in scoring two goals (and a penalty in the shootout) during arguably the best World Cup final of all-time.

France, inspired by Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe, fought until the final whistle but Argentina prevailed thanks largely to their legendary captain plus goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Martinez pulled off arguably the biggest save in the history of Argentine football in the dying seconds of extra-time before psyching out France’s penalty takers in the shootout.

  Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo matched up for likely the final time as PSG traveled to Saudi Arabia to take on the Riyadh All-Stars in a friendly match in the Middle Eastern nation's capital. The friendly was part of the state-sponsored Saudi festival known as Riyadh Seasons, and what a show it was, featuring nine total goals, a red card, and endless star power through the 90 minutes of end-to-end action. Both Messi and Ronaldo found the scoresheet, as did Kylian Mbappe, and PSG emerged with a 5-4 victory. Ronaldo struck twice, once via a penalty and once from open play, while Messi gave teammates Mbappe and Neymar chances from the penalty spot as well.
