Argentina captain Lionel Messi said winning the 2022 World Cup gave him incomparable emotions. According to the forward, the only moments that came close were the births of his children.

Even though it's not the same, when I won the World Cup as a professional, I felt the same thing as when my children were born. It's a feeling that's hard to explain, it's so great and special that anything I say falls short.
In the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, Argentina defeated France 3-3 (4-2 on penalties). The 38-year-old has also won Olympic gold with Argentina in 2008, lifted the Copa America twice (2021, 2024), and claimed the Finalissima title in 2022.
In his club career, Messi played for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain before joining Inter Miami in MLS in 2023. He is an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.
