🚨🎙️Sergio Ramos on Karim Benzema being offered to Inter Miami 🇺🇸🐐
“It’s not a coincidence that so many Real Madrid legends are now trying to play with Messi. Back then, we were rivals, but deep down, we all envied his talent. When you play against Messi, you know better than to provoke him. We tried not to get into his head anymore because that’s when you see the most dangerous part of him.
Deep down, I think playing alongside Messi is a dream for many of us. And that’s not disrespect to Cristiano Ronaldo. We respect Cristiano for competing with Messi for so many years. It’s like competing with a beast you can never truly defeat, but Cristiano tried and gave everything.
Playing alongside Ronaldo doesn’t mean you’re blind to see the light. I’m happy I achieved my dream before I retired, and I really hope Benzema gets his opportunity. It would be something special to look back on and say, ‘I played with the greatest player of all time.’ My children will see that, and that will stay with me forever.”

Diego Simeone on Lionel Messi leading Argentina past England into the World Cup Final.
🎙️ Reporter: “Diego, once again Lionel Messi has carried Argentina on the biggest stage. How does he keep doing it?”
🗣️ Diego Simeone:
“Because pressure doesn’t break Lionel Messi it obeys him. When the entire stadium is shaking, when millions of Argentines can barely breathe, Messi becomes the calmest man on the pitch. That’s why he’s different.”
“England threw everything at Argentina. They pressed, they fought, they believed they could stop him. But the cruel reality is this: you can chase Messi for 90 minutes and he’ll still find the two seconds that destroy your entire game. That’s exactly what he did tonight. Two assists. Two moments. One ticket to another World Cup final.”
“People will talk about those passes for years, but they still won’t understand them. Those weren’t ordinary assists they were acts of genius. He sees spaces that don’t exist for anyone else. By the time defenders realise what’s happening, Argentina are already celebrating.”
“The biggest thing Messi gives Argentina isn’t goals or assists. It’s belief. The second he touches the ball, eleven Argentine players suddenly believe they’re unstoppable. The crowd believes. The country believes. That’s the power of a true leader.”
“And let’s stop pretending this is normal. A 39-year-old should not be deciding World Cup semi-finals against one of the strongest teams on the planet. Yet here he is again, carrying an entire nation on his shoulders without asking for sympathy, without making excuses, just producing magic when it matters most.”
“I’ve always admired warriors, and Lionel Messi is the greatest warrior football has ever produced. He doesn’t scream. He doesn’t need to. He lets the ball speak, and when it does, the whole football world falls silent.”
“Every generation waits for a player who can make a nation dream. Argentina didn’t just find one they found Lionel Messi. And tonight, once again, he rescued an entire country. If that’s not greatness, then greatness doesn’t exist.”

🚨Lautaro Martínez was asked about Lionel Messi’s influence during Argentina’s World Cup semi-final victory over England.
🎙️ Reporter: “Lautaro, can you tell us what Lionel Messi said to you after you came on?”
🗣️ Lautaro Martínez:
“People see the assists, the dribbles and the magic, but they don’t see what Leo does with his words.
When I came onto the pitch, he walked over to me and said, ‘Attack the space between the defenders. Go for the headers. Keep making those runs.’
I tried it the first time and it didn’t work. I looked at him, and instead of telling me to change, he kept giving me signs to keep believing. He knew the opportunity would come.
We were 1–1 with less than five minutes to play. Leo looked at the scoreboard, then looked straight at me and nodded. He didn’t even have to speak. I knew exactly what he wanted. I knew the assignment.
That’s what makes him different. He sees the game before everyone else. He knows where the space will open, and he gives you the confidence to attack it without hesitation.
Playing with him is incredible because he doesn’t only create chances with his feet. He creates belief in every player around him.
At 39 years old, he’s still leading Argentina in the biggest matches, still deciding games and still showing us why he’s the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen.
We’re in another World Cup final because once again, when Argentina needed someone to guide us, Lionel Messi was that man.”

🚨 Pierluigi Collina on the referee sending off Breel Embolo for simulation after determining there was no contact from Leandro Paredes:
🗣️ “From a refereeing perspective, this was the correct decision. The replay clearly shows there was no contact from Leandro Paredes, and the referee correctly identified an attempt to deceive.”
“Simulation is one of the actions the Laws of the Game are designed to discourage because it undermines fairness and places unnecessary pressure on match officials. Referees are expected to recognise these situations and act accordingly.”
“The fact that this occurred in a World Cup knockout match should not change how the laws are applied. Referees must have the confidence to make the correct decision regardless of the occasion or the players involved.”
“Because Embolo had already been cautioned, the second yellow card was the inevitable consequence of his actions. The responsibility ultimately lies with the player. Consistency and integrity are fundamental to refereeing, and I believe the officiating team demonstrated both in this incident.”

🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra on hate-watching Lionel Messi:
🗣️ “Hate-watching Messi has to be one of the most frustrating things you can do as a football fan. It’s a complete waste of time. 😂
You spend 90 minutes hoping he has a bad game…
Then he reminds you why he’s Lionel Messi.
Sometimes I even joke that God supports Messi. 😭
It’s just not fair!
As a Ronaldo fan, our biggest fear right now is seeing Messi win the World Cup for a second time.” 😅🐐
