Lionel Messi led Argentina to its 3rd FIFA World Cup on Sunday night at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, beating France 4-2 on penalties following a pulsating 3-3 draw after extra-time.
It was deemed by many as a befitting crowing of Messi, whose greatness has long been questioned because of the absence of the most coveted trophy in world football, the World Cup trophy, in his cabinet.
Messi's latest achievement, with the Best Player of the Tournament award to go with, has got footballing legends from across the globe lining up to insist the 35-year-old had earned the title of the world's Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T).
Messi opened the scoring with a first-half penalty and got the eventual shoot-out off to the perfect start with an incredibly coolly taken spot-kick.
