Lucas Biglia wants Lionel Messi to have his own 'The Last Dance'

While speaking to FM 94.7, Biglia revealed that he just finished watching ESPN's 'The Last Dance' documentary on Michael Jordan. The 34-year-old revealed that he is a big fan of 'The Last Dance' series and watching the six-time NBA champion got him thinking about six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi. The Last Dance depicted NBA legend Michael Jordan's final year with Eastern Conference giants, Chicago Bulls.

Lionel Messi came close to winning the World Cup with Argentina in Brazil but suffered heartbreak at the final hurdle, losing 1-0 against Joachim Low's Germany. Biglia was part of that Argentina squad which reached the final in 2014 but the midfielder retired from international duty in 2018. Biglia further explained that he would like to see his countryman Lionel Messi lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar to have a similar 'The Last Dance' moment as Michael Jordan did when he won the second 'three-peat' of his career with the Chicago Bulls in 1998.
