Some goodbyes hurt more than we ever imagined. 💔🇦🇷
Since childhood, I have followed Lionel Messi.
I watched him grow.
I watched him struggle.
I watched him lose finals.
I watched people doubt him.
And I watched him finally lift the World Cup for Argentina.
For me, Messi was never just a footballer. He became a part of my childhood, my memories, my emotions, and my love for football.
Today, knowing that I will never see Leo Messi walk onto the pitch wearing the Argentina shirt again hurts in a way I can't really explain.
But what a journey you gave us, Leo.
207 games. 125 goals. 68 assists.
🇦🇷 World Champion — 2022
🏆 Copa América — 2021 & 2024
🏆 Finalissima — 2022
🌎 Six World Cups
🥇 Argentina's all-time top scorer
🥇 Argentina's most-capped player
🥇 Argentina's all-time assist leader
⚽ 21 World Cup goals
🏅 Two World Cup Golden Balls
These aren't just numbers.
They are 21 years of sacrifice, tears, heartbreak, perseverance, magic and finally glory.
I still remember the boy who carried so much pressure on his shoulders.
And I will always remember the man who finally lifted the World Cup and completed the story.
Thank you, Leo. 💙
Thank you for every goal.
Thank you for every impossible dribble.
Thank you for every beautiful pass.
Thank you for every comeback.
Thank you for never giving up.
You didn't just make football beautiful.
You made an entire generation dream.
I love you, Leo.
I admire you.
And I will miss you wearing that blue and white shirt more than words can say.
Gracias por todo, Capitán. 🐐🇦🇷
You can leave the national team, but you will never leave our hearts.
Forever my No. 10.
Forever Argentina's No. 10.
Forever Leo Messi.
