A name that sums up an entire destiny. One cannot bear such a name without an exceptional career to accompany it. Yes, whatever is said and beyond all statistics, it is undeniable that the Argentine is currently the best player in the world. He has proven it on every pitch on Earth with a divine touch. Maradona had the hand of God, Messi has the feet—both of them.
Naturally left-footed, many always thought he only used his right foot to stand, but he proved the contrary by placing the ball on Lautaro’s head with the precision of a drone, securing Argentina’s victory against England in the semi-finals. With fifteen minutes left, the situation was compromised for the Albiceleste, trailing 0-1 to the Three Lions. Messi arrived as a savior with two assists that completely changed the outcome of the match. A true maestro who controls every score, a Picasso who paints with his feet, simply a genius.
He doesn’t just play with his feet; he thinks faster than light and sees faster than a peregrine falcon (129 frames per second) or a dragonfly (300 frames per second). When we know that human visual speed does not exceed sixty frames per second, we realize the capabilities that allow him to place the ball wherever he wants. Every goal is a treat, every pass is a recital.
Despite his small stature, Messi is elusive. He has nothing to envy of Usain Bolt and dribbles as well as Maradona. He has even scored a few headers thanks to his intelligence and his reading of the game, which place him in the right spot.
And to think he wanted to end his international career ten years ago, discouraged by a decade of failures with Argentina. The Argentines managed to dissuade him, and at 39, he played in his second consecutive World Cup final. Regardless of the result, Messi will have been a unique phenomenon in the world of football. There have been Pelé, Cruijff, Maradona, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, Cristiano, Zidane… but Messi is unique, and Messi is… unique. And if there is only one God, it is probably him.
