@mrworldcupA reminder that even Lionel Messi's biggest letdown was making it to the FIFA World Cup Final. Cristiano Ronaldo has never reached that stage. Respect the levels, some comparisons just don't hold up. #LionelMessi

The image is a split-screen showing Lionel Messi. In the top panel, he wears a dark blue Argentina jersey with the number 10 and looks intently at the FIFA World Cup trophy. In the bottom panel, he wears a white and light blue striped Argentina jersey, a World Cup medal around his neck, and is being escorted by another man. The mood is celebratory and triumphant. The World Cup trophy is a prominent visual element in both panels. On-screen text includes "ADIDAS" and "AFA" logos, and a medal ribbon reads "FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022".
