Lionel Messi marked his memorable birthday this week. His party launched after Argentina’s big win in the 2026 World Cup final. Messi scored in that match too. He persisted in scoring lots of plentiful goals during the tournament and stayed at the forefront of world football news.
Fans in Argentina went crazy for him. Groups gathered in streets plus homes to cheer him on. He still today drives Argentina’s attacks, even after 20 years in the national team.
