FIFA World Cup 2022: Lionel Messi Has The Most Humble Reaction To Journalist's 'Thank You Captain' Speech After Reaching Final-WATCH
Argentinan football superstar Lionel Messi shared an emotional conversation with an Argentinian reporter after their semifinal win over Croatia on Tuesday night. The reporter, who was identified as Sofi Martinez Mateos, said that she wanted to say something to Messi that many fans around the world would want to say to him after Argentina reached the final of the World Cup.

“The last thing I want to tell you and it’s not a question, but I just wanted to say the World Cup final is coming and sure, we all want to win the cup,” she said.

“I just want to tell you that no matter the results, there’s something that no one can take from you, and it’s the fact you resonated with Argentinians, every single one. I’m being serious. There’s no kid who doesn’t have your team flannel, no matter if it’s a fake, real or made-up one. Truly, you made your mark in everyone’s life. And that, to me, is beyond winning any World Cup.


“No one can take that from you and this is my gratitude, for the amount of happiness you bring to a lot of people. I seriously hope you take those words into your heart because I really believe that’s more important than winning a World Cup and you already have it. So thank you, captain,” she added while Messi looked on and smiled, thanking her for her words.

Meanwhile, football fans are eagerly waiting for Sunday, as the Argentian side is pitted against the French. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is all set to prove his credentials as the best-ever, as she faces off against young charismatic and skillfull Kylian Mbappé, who is regarded for his dribbling abilities, exceptional speed, and finishing.

Well, fans are certainly looking forward to the high-octane drama as the two teams face off to win the FIFA World Cup 2022.
