Messi clearly saved his final energy for the WC in 2022 he put his heart and soul into it because it was the one trophy that evaded him and he finally got his hands on it when Argentina defeated France in the final in a penalty shootout after finishing 3-3 after extra time you see him playing for PSG and you just know that his heart isn't in it anymore he's won everything there's to win both as part of a team and on an individual basis so what else has he got left to achieve he's entitled to see out his career how he chooses his GOAT status is already assured imo and he will always be an all time legend of the game and it will be many generations if ever until you see a player like him again

Honestly, picking a favorite Lionel Messi moment would be such a crime because it would mean putting one over the others, and it's so tough to do as a Messi fan. Although if I had to pick one forcefully, that famous 3rd goal against RM in the 3-2 at Bernabeu, that was probably my loudest scream in my life along with Messi's 3rd goal in the WC Final. This is not my favourite 'goal', it's just an incredible 'moment'

[@nascimentoarantes]
