After a heart-wrenching defeat at the hands of Germany in 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, Messi and his team are bracing for second World Cup Final appearance.

Millions of hopes dashed to smithereens when Mario Gotze shot that winning goal for Germany in extra time in 2014. And now, it has again come onto the shoulders of the messiah, Lionel Messi, to not let those hearts bleed again in the World Cup final to be played on Sunday.

This will also be the very last time we see him wearing Argentina’s jersey at football’s grandest stage. Can this be the moment for Messi? Only time will tell.

Undoubtedly, this has been Messi’s best World Cup performance where he has not just scored as many as five goals in a total of six appearances of the world cup but also assisted in three others. Messi is leading the race for Golden Boot along with France’s Mbappe in FIFA World Cup

2022.

From scoring in all the three knockout games to being at his best throughout the World Cup, all stars are aligned for Messi to put his hands on the Golden Cup. Not only millions of his fans across the globe but also Messi himself wants this to happen. All through the tournament he has been the leader, savior and the father figure for the boys in Blue and White stripes.

Thus, the stage is now all set for a megastar player widely regarded as ‘Greatest of All Times’ to go out on the ultimate high.

Oh, the dance, the Messiah’s last dance waits! Regardless of Messi winning or losing this World Cup, Sunday, 18th December, will mark the end of an era, an era that saw a little boy from Rosario, Argentina, standing tall in front of the entire world with millions and millions of fans across the globe.

On behalf of every little boy wearing his jersey ‘Messi on Millions back, Messi for a million flash clubs’ as they say no matter what the result is, this will certainly be the last dance of the messiah. He will unarguably be remembered for ages and ages to come. Generations will look up to him as one of the greatest ever to have kicked the football.

This is Messi’s chance to make that all count. He’s done it before he’s done it many times before. The grandest stage of football awaits one last dance by Lionel Messi.
