You've seen the advert at the beginning.

If that wasn't Messi, there would have been a world in which he could have said, or you would have said, bring that attacker off and get someone on with real pace.

In the same way that we talked about England against them needing an outlet.

But of course they can't do that because it's Lionel Messi and there's no manager in the world that does that.

Also for the same reason that in the final five minutes of the game you see there's little moments and flashes of brilliance from the open up and begin to start to look as if they might unlock.

It was incredible.

It's a reminder of the privilege that we've got to watch him over the past, what is now 20 years, which is insane.

You saw the video of Maradona.

Did you see that where he was playing on that charity game?

And it was at Bayern Munich.

And someone put up, I can't remember who it was, it was someone online and said, like, this is the same age Messi is now.

And it blew my mind because of what Messi's doing on the world stage.

I think in terms of Argentina, throughout the game, there was a massive part of me that actually quite fancied the idea of them winning just because they were the villain.

And they were just so slow.

Yeah, and it's very much within their DNA.

We've seen that over the years.

I think there was a stat that came out and it was four players had been sent off in a World Cup final and three of them were Argentinian.

So there was a part of me that was looking at this and thinking, they're everything that you don't want to win or that football doesn't want to win, but there's something just very horrible about them that would make it very funny.

I also said in one of the shows that I really wanted to see sort of Messi when it left another one, but

I think as the game goes on, as the antics go on, particularly at what happens at the final whistles, like, you know, pretty dreadful.
