Argentina’s famous football player and captain Lionel Messi broke his silence against the allegations that Argentina showed in the 2026 FIFA World Cup and made it clear that the team’s achievements are the result of hard work and not anyone’s favor.
Speaking to the media after beating England in the semi-finals and reaching the final, Lionel Messi was asked if FIFA was in favor of Argentina, to which he categorically stated that for the last four years we have been among the best teams in the world, whether people like it or not.
Messi said: “What we have achieved is not a coincidence, but the result of constant work and effort, no one gave us anything, no one gives us anything for free.”
The Argentinian star named the victory against England in the semi-final after the legendary footballer Diego Maradona and said that Diego would have been very happy today. Today is a special day for them and this victory is our gift to them.
He recalled the 1986 World Cup and said that Maradona gave Argentina an unforgettable victory by showing a historic performance against England, and today’s victory is a continuation of the same spirit.
It is worth remembering that Argentina went to the finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating England 1-2 in the semi-finals.
