Lionel Messi celebrated in the same way as Diego Maradona

Lionel Messi had Diego Maradona watching over him.

You can expect that some remarkable photographs from the World Cup final have been recorded because the entire world’s attention was focused on one particular moment in Qatar.

A night unlike any other at Lusail Stadium was highlighted by Lionel Messi’s official ascent to GOAT status and Kylian Mbappé’s ultimately fruitless brilliance.

After the official celebrations, Messi was hoisted onto the shoulders of his countrymen.

The scenes bore a striking resemblance to the last time Argentina won the World Cup, in 1986.

On that day, a similarly brilliant but diminutive number 10, Diego Maradona, was held aloft by his compatriots.

Mass celebrations followed the triumph, during which Messi was elevated above the rest of his teammates while hoisting the championship trophy.

Messi, 35, established his claim to be the greatest of all time (GOAT) by scoring twice during the 120-minute 3-3 draw before converting from the penalty spot to evoke Diego Maradona’s generation of 1986.

Following the greatest World Cup final, Messi kissed the trophy and smiled, saying, “I was happy to have achieved virtually everything — and what I was missing is here.

“I had my heart set on this trophy my entire life. I had always wanted to do this.
