Declan Rice: "Lionel Messi, I think what we're witnessing right now is truly very special and what he's doing at this age is unbelievable.

"As a football fan, a football enthusiast and also as a footballer, watching him is an incredible pleasure." 🐐

When Zlatan Ibrahimović was asked about Lionel Messi’s role in this Argentina team, he described it perfectly. Messi is the leader everyone wants to follow, but also the leader who gives back to everyone around him:

“Messi is the leader. His teammates want him to lead them to World Cup glory. He’s done it once before, and they want him to do it again. That’s why they do everything for him.

But the important thing is that Messi gives all of that back—he doesn’t keep it for himself. Messi isn’t the player who works the hardest on the pitch, but the way he moves, the way he arrives in the right places, he is the connection point for everything.

The message from his teammates is simple: Show us the way, and we will follow you anywhere.” 😮‍💨🐐🇦🇷👑
