Lionel Messi appeared at the Americas Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, where he gave an insightful interview, reflecting on the unparalleled experience of winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The most profound comment of the session was his comparison between the pinnacle of his professional career and his most cherished personal moments. "The feeling I had when I won the World Cup was the same as when my children were born, although they are completely different things," Messi stated. "It is an inexplicable feeling, so special and so overwhelming that no words can describe it."
He elaborated on the significance of the 2022 World Cup, noting its importance to his career and his country. Messi confessed that finding the right words to describe the victory is difficult, explaining what the title meant for him, his family, his teammates, and the entire nation.
"The whole country was celebrating; the desire to lift the trophy again after so many years was evident," he said. "For me, it was especially meaningful because winning the World Cup is the ultimate achievement. After the World Cup, there is nothing else to ask for. And, before that, I had achieved everything at the club and individual level. This was the only thing missing in my career, and it was a perfect culmination."
