Lionel Messi’s World Cup quest began 15 years ago against Serbia, where he scored. In his 15 years of quest for the FIFA World Cup, he believed he could win football’s most coveted prize, which he did in 2022.
Leo’s been partying for two weeks since he finally got it. He reports to PSG on Monday but sent a New Year’s message.
In an Instagram post on New Year’s Eve, he wrote, “Ends a year I will never forget. The dream I always chased finally came true. But that wouldn’t be worth anything if it wasn’t because I can share it with a wonderful family, the best one can have, and friends who always supported me and didn’t let me stay on the floor every time I fell. I also want to have a special memory for all the people who follow bank and with me; it’s amazing to share this path with all of you. It would be impossible to get where I came from without so much encouragement that I received so much from all the people in my country, such as from Paris and Barcelona. In so many other cities and countries, I have been receiving love. I wish this year were also wonderful for everyone, and I wish you all the health and strength to remain happy in 2023. A huge hug to all!”
Leo posted a photo with his wife Antonella and three sons. Thiago, Mateo, and Siro help him fight and achieve his dream.
