Sport legendsLionel Messi: The Case for Football's GOAT
Lusail Stadium, December 18, 2022. Lionel Messi is on his knees, hands over his face, and for a moment the small man who spent a career being asked to prove himself simply cannot speak. Argentina have just beaten France on penalties to win the World Cup, the one trophy that eluded him through three previous tournaments, two losing finals, and a decade of debate about whether he could ever be considered the greatest player of all time without it. He scored twice in that final, including a penalty that pushed Argentina 2-0 up before France's Kylian Mbappé produced a hat-trick to drag the game to extra time and then penalties. When it ended, Messi didn't just win a trophy. He closed the last gap in an argument that had followed him since he was a teenager.
