Lionel Messi reflected on the joy he experienced with Argentina during the World Cup a month after their success in Qatar. He shared his memories on Instagram.
The 35-year-old noted that his time in Qatar was a great experience, not only because of the games on the field but also because of the fun-filled activities he shared with his fellow players. He indicated that he participated in their playful pranks during the tournament, all in good humor.

“Obviously, being champions makes everything more beautiful, but what a beautiful month I had, how many beautiful memories I have and miss, I miss my team-mates, the day-to-day with them, the mates, the talks, training sessions, the bullsh*t we did. What a beautiful madness we lived during all that time we ended up lifting the cup we all wanted so much.” Messi wrote on Instagram.
The World Cup final provided a memorable climax to a thrilling tournament, with Argentina and France‘s scintillating 3-3 draw culminating in a penalty shootout victory for the South Americans. This marked the third World Cup win for Argentina, who last achieved success in 1986 when Diego Maradona guided them to glory in Mexico.
Lionel Messi stepped up to the plate this time and finally acquired the one trophy that had thus far eluded him and added it to his impressive collection.
Lionel Messi misses his Argentine teammates
One month ago, Argentina was celebrating its victory in the World Cup in Qatar, and Lionel Messi took the opportunity to remember the ‘beautiful madness’. Last December, Messi achieved his lifelong dream of winning the prestigious tournament, with an epic final.
After a thrilling match, Argentina won the penalty shootout against France to be crowned champions. With all the star players taking part in the grand finale, the match was full of drama and excitement.
Messi expressed his sentiment by posting a video to Instagram, saying that winning a championship makes everything even more special, but he had such wonderful times and fond memories that he misses his teammates, the conversations and jokes, and even their training sessions.
After the conclusion of the World Cup tournament, Messi headed to the Middle East again. It is unclear if it is intentional or not, but the post by the 35-year-old precedes a match versus his opponent Cristiano Ronaldo. The World Cup victory has been utilized as an argument to declare that Lionel Messi has definitively settled the argument of who is the greatest player of all time.
