With the Qatar World Cup, the kings of world football leave the field. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and a handful of world-class players will be the last World Cup in Qatar.
Lionel Messi
If football is a religion, Lionel Messi is the Messiah. Messiha, who wears the black and white jersey of Argentina, is the magician on the pitch. The question of whether Messi, Cristiano or Ronaldo is better is still unanswered. Only the Copa America crown shines on Messi’s crown. There will be fewer fans who don’t dream of Messi kissing at the World Cup. According to sports reporters, this will be the last World Cup for 34-year-old Messi. Just one question: Will the genius retire uncrowned in Qatar?
It is highly unlikely that there will be another World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo taking charge of Portugal alone. Cristiano, 37, is a star who has collected one-by-one records in the world of football. It is not enough to talk about the characteristics of Cristiano.
The player’s announcement is that he will play until the Euro Cup 2024. Cristiano has scored 117 goals in 189 games for Portugal. Top scorer in international football, plus hat-tricks (10) … just some of the superstar’s records.
Neymar
Neymar’s arrival comes from Brazil, where there is no shortage of talents. Brazil is the title favorite in any World Cup. There are reports that young Brazilian star Neymar won’t be in international football for long. Due to constant injuries, the actor is struggling to maintain his physical shape. Neymar, 30, plans to move to club football after the World Cup in Qatar.
Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez is Uruguay’s goal machine. Suarez played his first World Cup in 2010. A player who rushes with the ball faster than his opponents think. He is expected to leave after the World Cup in Qatar.
Benzema
Karim Benzema is one of the best players in France. Benzema is the main star of the Spanish club of Real Madrid. 34-year-old Benzema arrives in Qatar with the Ballon d’Or. Benzema will be inducted into the French squad after a five-year hiatus.
Benzema, involved in the blackmail controversy linked to his teammate, was banned from the national team. Whether France retains the title or not, it will be Benzema’s last World Cup.
Lewandowski
It will also be the last World Cup for 34-year-old Polish forward Robert Lewandowski. A genius who has the extraordinary ability to throw the ball into the opponent’s goal post without allowing opponents to touch the field.
Luca Modric
Qatar will be the last World Cup for Croatian talent of all time Luka Modric. Much of Croatia’s success is due to Luko, known as a short goal hunter. 37-year-old Modric won the 2018 Ballon d’Or. Modric made his World Cup debut in 2006.
