The whole world speaks of Leo’s punishment against the port. How can football think of giving up someone like this?
It is the summer of the immortals. Cristiano Ronaldo triumphs in the Nations League at the age of 40, Luka Modric lands in Italy at the age of 40 and Kevin de Bruyne decides to close his fabulous career in Naples. And then there is the greatest of all, who has chosen Miami for his last few years and takes the stage of the Club World Cup to give magic again. What will football be like without Leo? We would say a sadness, but it will not be so because other talents bloom and grow. But like him there are none, not even now that he centers the efforts, what a brush every now and then with his magical accident and drives people crazy, who always continues to go to him at the stadium.
From one World Cup to another

The last play on punishment against the port. At 37 he is still able to make a difference: he sets up the ball, take a look at the goalkeeper and then away, with the ease of those who do what they want to put the crossing of the posts with the ball and gives victory to his team. Always put on, absolutely put. And it will be so for a while, because Leo after the Club World Championship will prepare carefully for the World Cup for Nations of next year. Still in the United States where they love football especially from the parts of Miami because there is he who goes on the pitch. And above all because Messi and his Argentina must defend that title won in Qatar, that World Cup that was an obsession for Leo: the whole country reproached him that Maradona had brought Argentina to the roof of the world and he did not. A fault to be expanded, like that exile in Barcelona that the Argentines had seen as a betrayal.
Messi and Maradona

Diego was the footballer of the people, Leo has never been because he never played at his house, but he surprised the world with his class and in the end he also won the last trophy, what was missing. There is still something to do, however, the last tour of the carousel of great football, the 2026 world championship, where Cristiano Ronaldo also wants to be there. The immortals do not want to leave anything and the new talents will have to commit a lot to arrive up there where the gods of football are. And who knows if they will ever get there. In the meantime, let’s enjoy it again, even in the United States, because at the right time he always comes out with the winning play and a great effort is made to think of giving up one like this.
