[Mini Thread] I don't think us regular fans are understanding, yet, how massive this WC is for Messi. This does 10Γ more for his legacy in the casuals eyes than anything ever could. Ballon D'Ors will come and go, but this trophy right here stays FOREVER
Being the Best Ever is completely different than being the Best Ever with a WC. Just look at the legacy of Pele and Maradona. You think of them and their WC campaigns are the first thing you think of. It all suddenly makes sense why these 2 fanbases wanted Messi to win the WC π
