Via an emotional post he penned on his official Instagram handle, Lionel Messi explained the struggles he endured to achieve his dream of winning the FIFA World Cup trophy. The 35-year-old wrote in Spanish, "From Grandoli to the Qatar World Cup took almost 30 years. It was close to three decades when the ball gave me many joys and also some sorrows. I always had a dream of being a World Champion and I didn't want to stop trying, even knowing that maybe I would never give up."

He added, "This Cup we got is also for all those who did not make it in the previous World Cups we played, like in 2014 in Brazil, where they all deserved it for how they fought until the same final, worked hard, and wanted it as much as I did... And we deserved it even in that damn ending."
