Why World Cup win makes Messi the best player ever (2:27)

Lionel Messi has overtaken Diego Maradona as Argentina's greatest ever player, according to the man. There is a time and a place for it.

Lionel Messi said he won't retire from international football after scoring two goals in Argentina's win over France in the World Cup.

When the ball fell to him in the 6-yard box, Messi prodded home the opening goal from the penalty spot. Argentina won the World Cup after Kylian Mbappe completed his hat trick with a penalty.

Messi broke the record for most World Cup appearances on Sunday when he played in his 26th game for Argentina.

Messi told TyC that he intends to play for Argentina for a while longer after winning the only major honour that eluded him.

Messi said he won the World Cup and the Copa America in a few months. I want to continue living a few more games being world champion because I love what I do.

He said he was going to take the cup to Argentina.

It was a childhood dream for Messi to help Argentina win their first world title in 26 years.

Messi said it was a childhood dream. I was fortunate to have accomplished everything in this career, but this one that was missing is here.

She's gorgeous and it's madness. I wanted her a lot. I had a vision that she was going to be the one.

The World Cup is something we already have. I wanted to stop working in this field. He said that he could no longer ask for anything else.

Messi lifted the trophy after the classic.
