Everyone's wet dream is to double the world cup in a row. Mbappé was bummed as hell when he lost in 2022.
Of course, but it's completely different when you've already won everything you could with your nation.

Before the Copa America and the World Cup he had the weight of an entire nation on his back because they made him believe he owed them a World Cup, comparing him to Diego or that he only played well for Barca (which was complete nonsense).

Spain is not lucky
Portugal is their bogey team
Spain got that match. Portugal is making same mistakes which entire world can see (except for Management and Ronaldo fans ) for a long time now. Even we talked about that in this thread.

Even though Spain is struggling with winger issue but if they start with yamal, nico and olmo then I think Spain got the match.

But that bracket has France/Germany (most likely France) up ahead so now most likely we won't get to see the Argentina vs Portugal even if Portugal pulls an upset against Spain.

True!

That's why Messi has different level of mentality. We saw how brutally he was getting tackled during his prime in La Liga yet he was unstoppable.

And, now we witnessed his rise from being shunned by Argentinians in 2018 to winning everything at international stage carrying that immense burden of expectations and criticism of not performing at international stage like he did with Barcelona.

Messi free from that burden is like seeing Messi of 2009-10

I will never forget Messi crying and leaving the national team after the CA final in 2016.

I think it's the greatest comeback in sports history, the true definition of never give up!
