On to penalties where Argentina’s Goalie came up big, and France’s couldn’t stop a run-on sentence, Lionel Andres Messi FINALLY becomes a world cup champion in the most excellent game ever played.
Lionel Messi The GOAT 🐐👑

What a finish. What a career. Messi just turned Ronaldo’s self-ascribed “GOAT status into an afterthought which begs the question, does this World Cup-winning performance cement Lionel Messi as THE Goat?
He made this tournament his bitch winning the World Cup, World Cup MVP and DOMINATING the best players in the world at 35.

Argentina wins. Messi Wins. France Loses. Ronaldo loses by being a loser. Everybody wins.
That’s how it works. Everything is right in the world today.
