Neymar posted a congratulatory message to “Brother” Lionel Messi after his team beat France to lift the World Cup.
Despite scoring a spectacular hat trick, Mbappé couldn’t do more and Argentina closed out the final game with a penalty shootout victory. Argentina clearly took the lead in the first half, but Kylian Mbappe poured his soul into it to get France back into the game. Mbappé finished the tournament becoming the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup.
Not even Messi’s two goals managed to make the necessary cut in the game to make it the winner, which led the match to a penalty shootout. Emiliano Martínez was once again the hero for Argentina and Gonzalo Montiel delivered the last blow in the penalty shootout to lead Argentina to victory.
Messi has finally won the world, ending years of despair and completing his legacy for the nation. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner needed the support of goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to seal the victory in the penalty shootout. Martínez did not disappoint the team, and his dream has finally come true.
Messi took to Instagram to express his emotions, quoting “WORLD CHAMPIONS”. He goes on to mention how many times he dreamed about it and how he is still in disbelief.
What happened to Neymar in the World Cup?
Croatia beat Neymar’s Brazil in the World Cup quarterfinals. Even as the Brazil star was knocked out of the tournament, he tuned in for the final match of the tournament. Neymar kept their rivalry at bay as he rooted for his neighbors as Argentina accomplished the feat.
Neymar congratulated his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Lionel Messi, while Mbappé also belonged to the same team. The 30-year-old footballer also shared a photo of Messi kissing the trophy at the Lusail stadium along with the message.
Although Mbappé failed to win the World Cup for France, he took the 2022 Golden Boot from Messi. The 23-year-old really deserved it after an impressive hat-trick finish.
However, none of this affects Lionel Messi, having won the world’s biggest award for the team. Also, since it was the last World Cup for Lionel Messi, the legend has rightfully earned the happy ending from him.
