The striker of the Argentina national team, Lionel Messi, spoke about his emotions after the final of the 2022 World Cup with the French national team (3:3, pen. 4:2).
"I watched the news, some moments from the final, the celebration of the Argentines when we became world champions, but I never saw the match itself, all 90 minutes.
I would like Maradona, if not to hand me the cup, at least to see everything that happened. I think that from heaven he and many other people who love me gave strength not only to me, but also to our whole team.
Why did I kiss the cup? I saw him there and couldn't help myself. He seemed to call out to me as I passed by. I needed it," Messi said on Urbana Play radio station.
