The best player of the final and the entire tournament Lionel Messi shared his emotions after the victory:
“Of course, I wanted to end my career in this way, you can’t ask for more. Thank God for everything. To almost end a career this way is impressive.
What do I plan next? I was able to win the America’s Cup, the Mundial, and it happened almost at the end of my career.
I love football, it’s my life’s work. I like to defend the colors of Argentina, to be in this team. I want to experience what it’s like to play as a world champion.”
