Messi Points to the Sky After World Cup Hat-Trick, Credits God as the True G.O.A.T.
Lionel Messi broke the all-time scoring record at the ongoing World Cup with a hat-trick against Algeria. After each goal, he made the sign of the cross and pointed to the sky. In a 2024 interview he called his talent “a gift from God” and dedicates every triumph to Him. Messi explained that he was born with the ability God chose for him. He said he can’t ask for anything more than what he has already received and that every record he sets is about enjoying the gift he was given. His humility in victory sends a powerful message to other players: to reach unprecedented heights and be named among the greatest, recognize the source of your talent and give glory where it’s due.
