VIDEO/ Losing in the final, Messi bursts into tears

Argentina captain Lionel Messi failed to defend his World Cup title after losing the final to Spain.

The Albiceleste team, which held the status of defending champion after the success of 2022, was crushed by the Iberian team in the final stage of the tournament.

After being presented with his second-place medals, Messi could not hold back his tears, bursting into tears on the field of play.

This edition of the global competition is expected to mark the 39-year-old's last appearance at this international level. Throughout his long career with Argentina, Messi has already won every major trophy possible. Despite his failure in this final, he remains one of the most decorated figures in football history.
