Argentinian superstar has already built a
towering legacy, but winning the ultimate
prize would put him on the same pedestal as Pele and Maradona


According to the former Liverpool great Jamie Carragher, Lionel Messi is one win away from
settling the most enduring argument in
football.

" If he lifts the World Cup for
Argentina, he will cement his status as
the greatest player of all time". The football romantic in me imagines a
fitting climax in Qatar where Messi
achieves his lifetime ambition with
another technical masterclass only to
announce his imminent retirement, the
curtain falling with the everlasting image of him holding our sport’s most
precious trophy ".
