After Argentina won the World Cup, foreign newspapers referred to Lionel Messi as "the foot of God."
On Sunday afternoon, Lionel Messi made history by leading Argentina to World Cup victory, defeating the reigning champions France 4-2 on penalties following a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Since Diego Maradona led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Messi's team has not won the World Cup since. As a result, Messi fulfilled his dream of winning the championship tournament.
As a result, the 35-year-old has received glowing reviews from the media all around the world. According to one news organization, Messi overcame Argentina's 36-year curse and has the foot of god.
Another person called Messi a "magician," while some people think Kylian Mbappe of France is the future. Sportsmail has compiled the front pages from around the world in light of this.
Sportwereld, a Dutch publication, referred to Messi as the "magician from Rosario." They said that Messi's World Cup victory allowed him to emerge from the shadow of Diego Maradona, another hero from Argentina.
Corriere Dello Sport, an Italian news organization, referred to the match between Argentina and France as a "beautiful final" under the banner "Maradona." However, they claimed that Didier Deschamps' hat trick from Kylian Mbappe was insufficient.
After scoring twice during the contest, they continued by adding that Messi had "entered the history books" and quoting the 35-year-old as saying, "I made my dream come true, but I won't stop."
Football, I love you! was the headline that appeared on the front page of Tuttosport. They went on to praise Messi for "following in the footsteps of Maradona and leading Argentina to their third World Cup" and called the 2022 championship game an "epic match."
La Gazzetta Dello Sport had great things to say about Messi and his team. They titled their top page "Messi, the foot of God" and referred to the match between France and Argentina as the "greatest final ever."
In addition, they claimed that the 36-year-old curse on Argentina has finally been lifted as a result of Maradona's victory at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
They did, however, state that Deschamps' team "were not enough" and that Mbappe being the "top scorer" would never be enough to carry them to victory. They did, however, give the two players ranked No. 10 a 10/10 and declare that Mbappe is the player of the future.
As Argentina celebrated their victory over France, AS carried the title "In the sky" with a photo of Messi perched above Sergio Aguero. Marca added that after his performance in the championship, Messi was "heavenly."
The Italian media lauded Angel Di Maria for his performance against France on Sunday.
