Argentina’s victory at the World Cup in Qatar allowed Lionel Messi to add the World Cup to his incredible palmares, consecrating him as one of the best players in history. A world title that Argentina has been missing since Diego Armando Maradona led the Albiceleste to triumph in the 1986 edition in Mexico.

There were many in the sports world who celebrated yet another feat by the Argentine national team’s number ten. Among them, in the discipline of tennis, Swiss star Roger Federer dedicated a special message to him on his Instagram account: “Argentina’s fairytale. For the umpteenth time, you, Lionel Messi, have defined the concept of greatness. Watching you was a privilege. Congratulations Leo Messi and Argentina. You have rewritten the history of the sport.”
