Mbappe was close to that in this tournament.
And yeah, the fact that he scored in big matches against Argentina, scored in the final against Croatia, you know, there wasn't one particular snapshot that I thought, wow, but as a tournament, as a teenager to put together that campaign, that's pretty impressive, I thought.
It was the first time, I think, that
Filipe was, I'm sure, saying more about this, that Argentina didn't seem to be in a state of complete chaos.
There were still chaotic elements to it, like, you know, it was not a perfect side by any means, but, you know, Messi had, his World Cup career had...
been through this period of incredible turbulence whether that's you know Diego Maradona being the manager or you know Jorge Sampaoli who was his own kind of you know character and I think what made this so good not dissimilar to the Maradona case we spoke about earlier was the fact that it seemed to be getting away from him you know
We now know that he is just about hanging on for this World Cup coming up.
But then it seemed very feasible that this was last chance saloon for him.
And actually, the appointment of Lionel Scaloni proved to be such a masterstroke because it kind of brought Messi in.
There was always this doubt about Messi.
Why doesn't he play the same for Argentina as he does at club level?
And he kind of, over the course of that cycle, turned into a different character in the national team.
He seemed to be more at ease with his teammates.
He was certainly more vocal, did more interviews.
And yeah, just...
It's so interesting how the phases of a player's career can work.
Like, was that the best version of Messi as a player?
No, absolutely not.
But he was most comfortable.
The team was geared to service him in many ways.
