In the wake of Argentina’s 1-0 loss to Spain in the World Cup final, Lionel Messi shared a message with Argentina fans after what likely was his last World Cup match.
“The pain is immense, and it will take time for this wound to heal. But I will also hold on to all the good things… To the matches in which we turned things around, giving everything we had, and which will remain in our memory forever; to the support of an entire country that, together with the hard work and effort of this group, helped us once again return to being among the best in the world.
Today it is difficult to fully appreciate what we achieved, but this team reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message. Once again, we managed to unite as a country and stand together, sharing the immense pride of being Argentines.
