For over 15 years, winning the World Cup was Lionel Messi’s biggest wish, and that one can guess from Leo’s Ney Year message he sent out to his fans.
Leo Messi posted a beautiful picture where he appears with his wife Antonella and his three sons. Thiago, Mateo and Siro are the ones who give him the strength he needs to continue fighting. This is what he wrote on Instagram: “A year I will never forget comes to an end. The dream I always pursued was finally fulfilled. But that wouldn’t be worth anything if I couldn’t share it with a wonderful family, the best family anybody can have. And friends who always support me and never let me stay down every time I fell.

“I also want to keep a very special memory to everybody who follow and support me, being able to share this journey with you is incredible. Getting to where I am today would be impossible without all that support from people from my country, Paris, Barcelona and so many cities from many countries from where I receive all that love. I hope this year has also been wonderful for everybody and I wish all the health and strength to continue being happy in 2023. A massive hug for everybody!”

Leo Messi still dominated the biggest stage at the age of 35, despite having already said he likely won’t be active for the 2026 World Cup. While Cristiano Ronaldo may have given up, Messi appears to be just getting warmed up. We’ll get to witness the end of his career over the next couple of years without the added strain of him not having won a World Cup. He will only have a good time and maybe provide more entertaining nights. Watch what he does in 2023 with interest.
