2022 World Cup Qatar Final Full Ticket Lionel Messi WC CHAMP AUTO DNA 10 PSA 9

Argentina waited. Lionel Messi waited. A large crowd inside Qatar’s Lusail Stadium waited. Millions of television viewers around the world waited. Argentina had not won the World Cup since 1986. Lionel Messi had not won a World Cup in four tries, dating back to 2006. As for the crowd and millions of viewers, they had only waited a couple of hours. But all waited on the edge of their seat for the dramatic conclusion to one of the greatest World Cup Finals in history, as Argentina and France needed penalty kicks to declare 2022’s international soccer champion. Messi scored twice to pace Argentina against the defending-champion Frenchmen, but his then-Paris Saint-Germain teammate, French superstar Kylian Mbappé, secured a hat trick to deadlock the score at 3-3 and force the World Cup Final to penalty kicks for the third time in history. Messi struck again, as did three of his Argentine teammates, to secure the victory over France—snapping the drought that had gripped the country and its brightest star, who lived out his “childhood dream” of hoisting the 18-karat gold FIFA World Cup Trophy. “I was lucky to have achieved everything in this career ... and this one that was missing is here,” Messi said. “It’s madness ... look how (the trophy) is. She’s gorgeous. I wanted her so much. I had a vision that this would be the one, that she was getting closer.” This full hospitality ticket later signed by Leo could've been, or maybe even was, used to be part of that large crowd inside Qatar's Lusail Stadium who waited for that magic Messi moment.
