The victory of Argentina in the Glass of the World of Qatar surely will follow celebrating by several days and besides will remain recorded in the history of the sport for ever. The albiceleste gave an exhibition during almost all the party in front of France and in spite of losing his advantage in two occasions finished carrying the title in the penaltis, thank you largely to Leo Messi.

Messi besides accumulates 10 Leagues, 7 Glasses, 8 Supercopas of Spain, 4 Champions, 3 Supercopas of Europe, 3 World-wide of Clubs with the Barça.
Besides also it adds one Tie 1 and a Supercopa with the PSG, some Olympic games, a World-wide sub-20, a Glass America and a Glass of Champions with the Argentinian selection. The problem for the no fanatical of Messi is that out of all this also find the seven Balloons of Gold, six Boots of Gold and a prize The Best, something that also could see increased if France Football recognises him again with the recognition.
