@restitiusrespicius: I first started hearing about Lionel Messi in 2006. Today, more than 20 years have passed more than 20 years filled with beautiful memories, historic moments, joy, heartbreak, hope and unforgettable victories, All of these years have carried a special meaning because of the presence of the greatest footballer I have ever had the privilege of watching alive, pouring his heart and soul onto the pitch, fighting for his team, his country and the millions of people who believed in him. It has been more than 20 years of extraordinary achievements in football, more than 20 years of unmatched entertainment for football lovers, and more than 20 years of witnessing a gift the world may never see again. We watched you grow from a quiet young boy with a dream into a hero, a captain, a champion and an eternal symbol in the history of the game. Throughout this journey, we celebrated with you and we suffered with you, We witnessed the impossible goals, the breathtaking passes, the unforgettable dribbles and the magical moments that made us believe football could be more than just a sport. You taught us that true greatness is not measured by words, but by hard work, humility, patience, sacrifice and the courage to keep going even when the whole world doubts you. There were moments when the world praised you, but there were also moments when people criticized you, questioned you and even tried to convince you that your dream would never be complete, Yet you continued to rise, You continued to fight, You kept returning to the pitch with the same love for football, the same quiet determination and the same heart of the little boy who simply wanted to play. And in the end, you achieved the greatest dream of all, You led Argentina to win the World Cup and completed a story that generations will continue to tell, That moment was not only your victory, It was a victory for everyone who had followed your journey, defended you, believed in you and waited patiently to see you lift the one trophy that had escaped you for so long. After this World Cup, we may begin to realize that we are approaching the final chapters of a journey we never wanted to end, The time left to watch you on the pitch may not be as long as the years already behind us, but the memories you have given us will live forever, Every goal, every assist, every victory, every defeat, every tear and every smile will remain in our hearts. Thank you, Lionel Messi, for more than 20 years of happiness that words can never fully explain, Thank you for making us love football more deeply, for giving us reasons to believe, for making us stay awake late at night, wait anxiously for matches and celebrate every time the ball reached your feet, Thank you for becoming part of our childhood, our youth and our lives, You may never know each one of us personally, but you became part of our memories, our emotions and our most beautiful moments. Congratulations on every achievement, every record, every trophy and every life you have touched, You deserved the World Cup. You deserved that joy, You deserved to see your country celebrate you as a hero, To us, you will never be remembered as just a great footballer, You will be remembered as the symbol of our generation, the joy of our football years and the proof that sometimes the most beautiful dreams really do come true. One day, you will leave the pitch, but you will never leave our hearts, New players will come, new stars will rise and records will continue to be broken, but your name will remain immortal. Thank you for everything, Lionel Andrés Messi. We were lucky to watch you. We were lucky to live in your era. And we will always be proud to say “We watched Messi play”@fcbarcelona @InterMiamiCF @FIFA @Más+ by Messi @psg @Lautaro Martínez @Selección Argentina in English @CONMEBOL Copa América™️ @FIFA World Cup @ESPN Argentina
