Record-Breaking Messi Points To The Sky To Prove Who His G.O.A.T. Is

While the debate about the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) of football yet rages on, Messi who seems clearly the frontrunner by a long stretch now, especially after his world cup win and heroics in 2022, in addition to his continual record breaking exploits at the ongoing 2026 world cup being co-hosted by the USA, that has seen him win over even some of his enemies who have begun to admit that he's the best to ever grace the game, has himself been observed pointing to someone else, as the real G.O.A.T. and attributing all his football successes to Him.

He once said in a 2024 interview that he believed his ability was "a gift" from God.

He said: “It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me. I tried to take advantage of it, I did everything possible to squeeze the most out of it.”

Hence why he is often seen making signs of the cross and pointing to the sky after scoring a goal, as he had done severally in the ongoing world cup, including his record breaking goals, that made him top scorer of all time and presently leading on the goal scorers chart with 5 goals, despite being only a few days to his 39th birthday.

He attributed everything to God after scoring a record breaking hattrick in Argentina's 3 - 0 victory over Algeria, saying,

“I can’t ask for anything more than everything I’ve already received. As I’ve said many times, God has truly spoiled me. Everything that comes now is about enjoying it…”

Therefore here is Messi who many consider to be the G.O.A.T. of the game, giving all the glory to the One who he considers to be the true GREATEST OF ALL TIME:

It's not surprising that it's the player that is giving glory to God (instead of himself) for his footballing exploits, that is yet shining brightest at the 2026 world cup, despite being almost 39 years old, and having already won the world cup and therefore still comfortably leading the football G.O.A.T. debate.

Because God had been observed severally to give His own the edge over the rest in their respective fields, just as it is in the field of science.

Perhaps other players of the game who want to emulate such unprecedented heights and heroics in football and be named in the same breath, could take a cue from Lionel Messi, and humble themselves before the One who gave them the ability, and give Him the glory which is due Him, instead of ascribing it to themselves.

God bless.

Even Satan himself, witches and wizards with all the powers of darkness combined together all agree with the undeniable fact that the almighty God is the greatest. More skills to Messi's already anointed legs. May all living souls acknowledge the reality of the almighty and the living God. And also acknowledge the lordship the our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

See how God is getting the glory in the biggest stage of football and sports in a way that has never been seen before.

Prayer has taken over the 2026 world cup, and many football stars, including Lionel Messi, and even entire football teams and staff, are not ashamed to publicly display their faith in Jesus.

Jesus is indeed the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

CR7 too go score hat-trick!

Nice 👍
The goat
But all this is to make c Ronaldo feel he isn't giving God glory
I love Ronaldo, hard work pays
Forget talent
Even if I nor get talent, practice can take me far than people who has talent
If u nor work or put in little for your talent you go run dry

That has been his trademark goal celebration but trust part time conspiracy theorists, football zealots and some religious heads to read deeper meanings into it.

Man deserve everything he's getting now.

He's truly phenomenal, but Mbappe is Mr world cup for me

I don't know what's the craze with Christians seeking relevance for Jesus and Christianity everywhere!

This same OP will criticise Messi for being a Roman Catholic and having tattoos!

Yes you can say so cus he is proudly a Catholic but raising that finger up I have seen so many player dud likewise.

However, in everything to God be all glory. I'm happy for him and my fellows who believes in true God a living God than one non-existing thing that always seeking for death, kill, kil and kill.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up in due time".
Messi understands this principle.

CR7 dies same thing nothing new

Jesus is king. Jesus is king.

Biggest goat
Ankara Messi

Christian God is not the same as the arab called allah. Don't be deceived

Ronaldo and Messi who do you think gives God credit the most? Who acknowledges God the most? If you think it's Messi then you don't know anything about C Ronaldo

Eat some food, it's appears hunger is seriously massaging your life. After eating go outside and touch some grass.

Only fools will say God doesn't exist

That's my GOAT, the true GOAT of football. ⚽️

Op I get it,but you should know that many of these guys do it to "thank their stars" and not God. Only few players like Doku are identifiably Christian.

This is great, he's a true legend

Have never support Messi or Ronaldo because am a dye hard Chelsea fan..... But from what am watching since like 2yrs now I will give it to Ronaldo. Not easy for a player to be active at his age.

Any thing this guy does is like

Everything is ok
Even when is wrong

Like the terrorist backing
Israel to kill unborn children is ok
As long as it's Isreal

And so.😂
You're now using it to promote propaganda.
Your name suppose be Baba Suwe.
Even 50cent has a song called God gave me style, for a supposed Gangster Rapper.
You need to take a Chill Pill. Believing in God isn't by theatrics.

This same Messi that dey have packaged for you guys just like how dey have packaged the wonder boy from Spain just dey play make I no talk much

RightChannel:
CR7 too go score hat-trick!

Not anymore.
His only chance was during d group stage with all due respect.
D ronaldo I watched d it her day can never score a hatrick in world Cup or euro again.

Of course satan and his demons agree except the pissful ones. Satan sef go dey laugh at them, dey shake his head in disgust.

Messi trademark celebration is in memory of his late grandma who was pivotal to his formative years as a footballer. While I am not disputing the fact that he acknowledges God for the copious talent he is blessed with, his celebration has nothing or little do with it.

Must you people bring religion into everything? Your politicians, who impoverish your lives daily, are still giving glory to God.
