Mexico 1986 was Diego Armando Maradona’s World Cup. Champion of Argentina, scoring the two most famous goals of all time – the ‘Hand of God’ and the goal that was considered the Goal of the Century – and King Sport’s greatest figure at the time, the Argentine superstar has been the king of victory celebrations for 36 years.
In the collective memory, an eternal image: Carrying Pelosa (one of his nicknames) on his shoulders in the middle of the Azteca stadium, champion trophy in his hands, complete ecstasy. This Sunday, in Qatar, the iconic moment was repeated with Lionel Messi as the hero.
As with Maradona, this was also the World Cup for Messi. He finally achieved his dream world title for Argentina, scoring three times in the final – including a penalty kick in the final tie-breaker – and was considered the tournament’s best player. At the party, he was the center of attention and walked, like Diego Armando, through the “airs”.
Present at the party on the pitch, the former Argentine international Con Aguero – who recently retired from football due to heart problems – decided to put Messi on his shoulders, so they walked several meters.🇧🇷 Maybe it’s a way for the ex-player to pay tribute to one of his best friends.
You are Two Argentines are good friends And he made a parallel journey in the national teams of Argentina, both at the lower and senior levels. Aguero left football but was welcomed by Alfesileste as another one in Qatar. Not only has he shared a room with Messi the past few days, he has also been entitled to a shirt bearing the number 19 and lifting the World Cup.
