‘I can no longer ask God for more’ – Lionel Messi after victory over England

Lionel Messi stepped up and tormented England to help Argentina secure an astonishing 2-1 victory in the second semi-final of the World Cup.

Anthony Gordon had put England ahead in the 55th minute before Messi assisted Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez to finish off England.

The 39-year-old has had a brilliant tournament in North America and is just a victory away from winning two FIFA World Cups.

After the game, the Argentina captain revealed that he can’t ask for more from God because he has been great in his career.

The reporter asked, “After the match against Egypt, you told us: God had a plan for you. Do you think he has another plan for you?”

Lionel Messi answered, “I don’t know, honestly, after everything we’ve been through, we can’t ask for more than that.

“Just playing another final is an amazing thing. God is great, and he always has something else, but honestly, I can no longer ask God for more”, King Leo added.

“He continued.” I am grateful for everything God has given me, whether in my sports career or in my personal life. And as I always say, as for the rest… It will be God’s will. God knows.”

It was Messi’s first-ever game against the Three Lions in his illustrious career, having won 206 appearances for La Albiceleste.

Argentina will face Spain on Sunday in the final, with Messi and co targeting another success.
