“It’s just incredible. I knew God would give me that cup, I was sure of it.
I wanted it so much. It’s a great joy,” the 35-year-old Messi told TyC Sports TV after the final.
Argentina’s triumph means Messi has won the last missing trophy of his career.
“I can’t wait to be in Argentina and see how crazy it is. It’s the most beautiful thing there can be. It was everyone’s dream since childhood,” she said.
L.Messi said before the World Cup final that this match will be his last in the World Cup. However, this is not the last match for the national team.
“I’m not finishing my career in the national team. I wanted to end my career at the World Cup and I couldn’t expect anything else.
To finish my career like this is impressive, after all I won the America’s Cup and the World Cup.
It was given to me near the end of my career.
I’m happy to be in the national team and I want to play a few more matches as world champion” L. Messi said.
That means Leo’s tally won’t stop at 172 games, 98 goals and 55 assists.
L.Messi made his debut for the Argentina national team on August 17, 2005 in a friendly match against Hungary (2:1).
