The best footballer of all time is missing one small accomplishment. What about being the player who scored the most goals in World Cup tournaments? Here he is now. No one scored more than him. He is now on 16 goals. After a hat-trick in his World Cup debut, Miroslav Klose is watching from the sofa knowing that, soon, Messi will surpass him in that record. With Kylian Mbappe still having a long way to go, Messi also being the World Cup's all-time top scorer is the culmination of an unprecedented football career. When it seemed that the image of him holding the title of World Cup champion in Qatar 2022 against France would be his last image in the largest national team tournament, Messi arrived in Kansas, and as he approached the completion of 39 years, he scored a hat-trick against Algeria at the beginning of the match. There was no Catalan fan who was not happy for him. Few people stayed to watch the match at 3am, but everyone looked at their mobile phones to see how Lionel and Argentina scored. We woke up the family to tell them he had scored three goals in his sixth World Cup start. We turned on the TV, while wearing our pajamas, to retrieve three masterpieces. Next, on “Què t’hi jugues?” On Radio SER, we heard many Barcelona fans calling for Messi to return to the team until he retires. Now it's not that important. His tears were painful, and his decision was wrong, both mathematically and financially. Members were deceived in the campaign and Messi was deceived twice. When he said goodbye and when he was not brought back in the summer of 2023. But after overcoming the grief on all sides, there was no longer any need to return to those moments. It is enough that Camp Nou will one day be called Estadio Leo Messi.
