After Argentina win over France (3-3, tab 4-2) in the final of the World Cup in Qatar, a competition during which he was also named best player of the tournament, Lionel Messi entered history a little more soccer. And we learn this Tuesday that the Pulga was invited to leave its footprints at the Maracana Stadium, according to a statement from the Rio de Janeiro state sports department.

In this historic enclosure, the Maracana stadium being surely one of the most famous football stadiums in the world, Lionel Messi should leave his mark in the “Hall of Fame” alongside football legends such as Pelé, Ronaldo but also Franz Beckenbauer and Eusebio. As a reminder, the stadium is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A fine tribute therefore for an Argentine player when we know the sporting rivalry between the two nations.
