The official account of the International Football Federation (FIFA) has deleted a post in which Argentina captain Lionel Messi was called the greatest footballer in history after winning the 2022 World Cup.
The debate about the greatest player in history is over. The prize of the best World Cup player has been added to his collection. The greatness is complete.
Sport-Express reports that after the publication, multiple negative comments from fans of Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo started to appear. That was the reason for the deletion of the publication.
Messi played seven matches at the tournament in Qatar, in which he scored seven goals and three assists. Argentina claimed first place by beating France (3-3, 4-2 - penalties). Ronaldo played five games at the 2022 World Cup, in which he scored one goal. Portugal finished their performance at the championship, losing in the quarterfinals to Morocco (0-1).
Earlier Sport24 reported that Kylian Mbappé was laughed at in Argentina because he called Messi's football backward.
