Argentina’s stunning victory over England in the World Cup semi-finals has been the hottest topic in the world of football. Argentina fought hard throughout the match and managed to turn the match around with a 2-1 win in the final minutes. But what caught everyone’s attention more than this turnaround on the field was Lionel Messi’s emotional speech after the match.
Leader Lionel Messi dedicated this huge victory entirely to Argentina’s eternal football hero, the late Diego Maradona. He said that this victory was a “special gift” to the wonderful character who brought the World Cup to Argentina in 1986.
Messi added that Maradona, wherever he is, would be very happy about this huge victory.
This long-standing rivalry between Argentina and England dates back to 1986. The memory of those two famous goals that Maradona scored against England is still fresh in everyone’s minds. So, it would be fair to say that with these words from Messi, the fans’ memories went back to that past.
