Leo Messi finally crowned the world at Qatar. Argentina beat France in a exciting final decided in the penalty shootout. Messi, who scored two goals in the final (7 in the entire World Cup plus 3 assists), was proclaimed MVP of the tournament.
The GOAT completes a unrepeatable career. 15 years at the highest level, winning all possible titles with FC Barcelona and in recent years with Argentina (Copa América and the FIFA World Cup), with which he also won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. A legendary career for an exceptional footballer.
MICFootball has also being part of Leo Messi’s history. The Argentine played the tournament in the 2003 edition with Barça, and in 2004 he was the protagonist in the inauguration held at Palamós. Messi carried the torch that ignited a flame that is still alive today. An indelible memory.
Impossible no recordar la inauguració de l'edició del 2004 a Palamós, duent la torxa per encendre una flama que encara ara segueix viva.
Gràcies, Leo! 💙 pic.twitter.com/Iaut9oWZSQ
