Tagliafico says Messi has an amazing legacy. Lionel Messi doesn’t need to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to Argentina defender Nicolas Tagliafico, to cement his legacy in the game of beauty. The star of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was instrumental in La Albiceleste’s victory in Qatar, scoring seven goals, including a brace against France in the championship match.
Additionally, Lionel Messi contributed three assists throughout the contest and was given the Golden Ball trophy for his efforts. Tagliafico recently said to Ole regarding Messi: “That Messi is world champion is fair. I’m not sure if he required it because he is the best and does not need to define himself by titles, but I believe Leo needed to win the World Cup for football. It’s excellent that Leo won, a lot of people told me, even here in France.
With the victory in Qatar, Lionel Messi “completed” football by claiming the one significant trophy that was absent from his trophy case. The tiny magician has now achieved the pinnacle of international football in addition to winning club football.
Tagliafico also talked about the emotion he experienced when he first kissed the World Cup trophy. “Beautiful, the left back exclaimed. a lovely feeling. When I enter the field and turned to face her, that is the first emotion I can recall. You observed that the cup always starts in the middle as the two teams enter. That was the ignition for me. She was with me. Naturally, as time goes on and one becomes immersed in the game, one forgets everything about the outside world. But later, when the celebrations are done and they put it back, you know they’ll call you to give you the medal, and passing by makes you feel like you want to take it and run, heh. However, one must be diplomatic; after a kiss, there will be enough time to shoot all the required pictures.”
Nicolas Tagliafico plays for a French club, much like Lionel Messi does. At the club level, he represents Olympique Lyon. After Argentina defeated Didier Deschamps’ squad in the FIFA World Cup final, the defender was questioned about the welcome he received in France.
He stated: “Thankfully, I received lots of congratulations. It may feel a little weird, of course, to be competing in the nation we had to beat in the final. but not. Most people praised me. The sport is soccer. You can succeed occasionally but also lose. In 2018, it was their turn, and now it was our turn. Fortunately, I was well accepted into the club. And I’m overjoyed that it turned out that way.”
