Lionel Messi – ‘The Last Dance’

This World Cup final will be Messi?s last final. The 35-year-old has reached the fag end of his career where he and the fans both feel that the veteran needs to retire on a high. The former Barcelona veteran has achieved almost everything possible at club football throughout the course of his career. However, the fans have declared this World Cup to be as ?The Last Dance?.

The world was hoping for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi showdown in the World Cup final. However, that could not happen because Portugal was shockingly knocked out by dark horses Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinal.
