Brazil wants to give special honor to Messi who won the World Cup

Lionel Messi has dominated football for the past two decades. The Argentine football wizard has conquered everything possible at the professional level. But a World Cup was elusive so far. He got that World Cup in Qatar, at the sunset of his career. And that is the completion of Messi’s illustrious football career. This time, arch-rival Brazil sent a letter to honor Messi.

Of course, the archrival means the football duel between the two countries. Although not a battle, the battle on the field is well-rounded Selecao vs. Albiceleste. But Argentina and Brazil, both countries have the value of legends. There is no end to their pride in Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, or the recent Messi. So Maracana wants to keep Messi’s footprint with the legend.

Usually, the Hall of Fame in Brazil’s iconic stadium Maracana houses the legendary footballers’ footprints. Featuring the footprints of stars like Pele, Garrincha, Figueroa, Petkovic, Eusebio, Arbeu and Beckenbauer. This time, the Maracana authorities have invited Messi to sit next to them. A letter has already been sent to him.

However, nothing is known so far whether Messi will go to Maracana or not. Neither the Argentine star’s manager nor his family have said anything about it so far. The Argentina Football Association also did not respond to a letter from Brazil. However, Messi has been invited to the Maracana before, after winning the Copa America in 2021.

It should be noted that after 36 years, Argentina has won the World Cup title. Brazil was eliminated from the quarter-finals of this tournament. It has been 20 years since Brazil won the World Cup. Brazil wants to honor the legend of the neighboring country for winning the title even if they did not win. If Messi accepts their invitation, he will sit next to legends like Pelé.
