The Argentine star led his country to the World Cup final
Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentine national team, is close to sitting on the special throne in the final of the World Cup, on which the Brazilian legend Pele could not sit.
Messi led Argentina to the 2026 World Cup finals in America, Canada and Mexico.After scoring both goals in Wednesday’s 2-1 semi-final win over England at the Atlanta Stadium.
According to Mastership statistics, Messi can become only the second player to appear in the final of the World Cup for the third time.
Messi had already appeared in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, losing to Germany with a clean sheet in extra time, before winning the title in the last game after defeating France on penalties.
Only Brazilian right-back Cafu, who took part in the World Cup finals in 1994, 1998 and 2002, won the title twice, losing once.
Although another Brazilian, Pele, is the player with the most World Cup titles in history with 3 titles, he missed the 1962 World Cup finals in Chile due to injury.
It is noteworthy that the final match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held next Sunday between the teams of Argentina and Spain at the “Metlife” stadium in New Jersey.
