In what is expected to be his last World Cup match, Lionel Messi is set to play the third final of his career in the tournament this Sunday against Spain.

Messi could secure a second World Cup title in just a few hours, three and a half years after his triumph in Qatar. On the eve of this ultimate showdown, the former FC Barcelona star highlighted the work already accomplished and the unity forged within the Albiceleste squad.

"The most beautiful part of all these years was never just the trophies, it was the entire journey. Sharing every day with this group, fighting together, getting back up during tough times, and savoring every step along the way. Thank you to each of my teammates, the staff, and everyone who works every day to make this national team a family. Whatever happens tomorrow, this group has already written a chapter of history that we will never forget and that no one will ever erase," wrote La Pulga on social media.
