\n \n Ever since he was a young boy growing up in Rosario, Lionel Messi’s ultimate dream was to win the World Cup for Argentina.\n <\/p>\n \n He finally achieved that dream on Sunday, in the last World Cup match of his career, after a month that featured some of the finest individual moments fans have ever seen from the little magician.\n <\/p>\n \n Messi has never hidden his desire to win the World Cup for his homeland and it’s been a goal that has bordered on an obsession for much of his life.\n <\/p>\n \n That was evident in Qatar as he dragged his team through matches by sheer force of will and a little sprinkling of magic.\n <\/p>\n \n While Messi had previously stated this would be his final World Cup, the 35-year-old told reporters after Sunday’s penalty shootout victory over France that he intended to play for Argentina for a little while longer.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cObviously I wanted to close my career with this, I can’t ask for anything more,\u201d Messi told Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports. \u201cThank God he gave me everything. Almost finishing my career in this way is amazing.\n <\/p>\n
