Lionel Messi is still the greatest football idol in Argentina right now. The Argentine continues to remember his best moments during the Qatar 2022 World Cup, having good performances with the different teams he has played. During this year, Lionel has had good performances with both Argentina and Inter Miami. Without a doubt, Messi's first season in MLS was regular.

At the same time, Messi's season was not regular because of his individual performance but because of the team's lack of collective success. It is worth mentioning that The Herons failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs. For this reason, it has been almost a month since the activity stopped in Fort Lauderdale and now the team will have a pre-season that will last until February but with some days off

At the same time, the activity does not stop yet for Messi who traveled to Argentina to play Argentina's commitments during the next fixtures of South American Qualifiers. On the other hand, many people woke up today with a photo that has gone viral on social media with Lionel Messi posing with a retro kit from Argentina. In light of this, comparisons with Maradona have not ceased

The comparison with Maradona has not ceased

Given this, many users on social media have considered that Lionel Messi is becoming more and more like Maradona, both because of the impact he has generated by winning his first World Cup and the way in which the two represent an entire country. The essence of Messi and Maradona are similar and this retro jersey has confirmed it.
