Messi lost 4 finals (3 Copa América, 1 World Cup) before winning it all at the end of his career. They have brutally criticized it here in Argentina because the soccer team is the top sport. The greatest sacrificial story ever told.

Lionel Messi Interview on Fox Radio on June 1st of 2019:

“I want to finish my career to have won something with the Argentina National Team and if not, to have tried as many times as possible. That’s life: fall, get back up, try again and fight for your dreams.” 🥲
