Lionel Messi came into the World Cup with the expectation that he would light up the tournament.
But the Barcelona superstar left empty-handed, without a goal and in floods of tears. It is not somethin.
The world footballer of the year and Argentina's talisman is used to. Despite being just 23, Messi has won almost every accolade there is and already has.
An impressive medal collection that few other players, if any, can match.Sitting in his personal trophy cabinet is already.
A World Cup winner's medal, but from 2005 at junior level. The one still missing is the one he wants the most – a World Cup winner as a senior.
