FIFA World Cup 2022: Former FC Barcelona legend tells what made Lionel Messi a full-fledged player

After 15 years of dominating football, Lionel Messi is finally showing signs of slowing down. He has won everything he could and the only trophy missing from his cabinet is the World Cup trophy. Messi, however, has an opportunity of winning the World Cup in Qatar this year. Football World Cup fans can buy Argentina Football World Cup Tickets from our website.

In 2014, Messi single-handedly took Argentina to the final, and he was as close to everyone as possible. However, Germany played too well and won after an encouraging draw in extra time. It is heartbreaking for Argentina and Lionel Messi, but they will try again in December.

Javier Mascherano has high hopes for Messi

Mascherano was with Messi when Argentina lost the final. The former FC Barcelona defender played a fine game in Brazil but retired shortly after. In an interview with FIFA, the legendary footballer spoke about Argentina's chances at this World Cup and more.

He also spoke about Lionel Messi's influence in Qatar and how he was different from other footballers of his generation.

"Well, normally Messi is not like that, that's why I like to make it clear. Often when you reach with experience you see all you can do, but there are things your body doesn't allow you. Yes. It's different for Leo because he's a different player," Mascherano said.

Lionel Messi is now a full-fledged player

Mascherano didn't stop there, adding that Messi is now a full-fledged player. The Argentine legend attributes Messi's growth to his experience and says the Paris Saint-Germain star still has the ability to be crucial in the game.

"I consider the experience has prepared him a complete player. So now he's dealing with a lot of records that he may not have covered when he was younger, but he still has the ability to be conclusive," he added.

It will be interesting to see if Mascherano's words come true at the World Cup in a few months, but no one should doubt Lionel Messi, not after what he did.
