From IShowSpeed to Jake Paul, Everyone Hails Lionel Messi as the “GOAT” After Argentina Won the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Against France

The world yesterday witnessed the best soccer finals match ever played in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Lionel Messi-led Argentina locked horns with the reigning champions France. This nail-biting match eventually ended in favor of the South American side.

This World Cup’s result was historic as Argentina reclaimed its world champion title after 1986. Further, the Argentine superstar Lionel Messi engraved his name in gold beside his idol Diego Maradona, who helped the South American side win the World Cup 36 years ago.

But these are not the only reasons that the results were so historic. This FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ended one of the most debated questions in soccer history. And that question is none other than, who is the greatest soccer player of all time, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

Who is the GOAT of soccer?

This World Cup was significant for both the legends of the sports, Messi and Ronaldo. After dominating the sport for over a decade, their long run is coming near an end, especially at the international level. This World Cup was possibly their last one, meaning it was their final trial to win the prestigious award.

But out of the two soccer superstars, Ronaldo didn’t have a great run.
