Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have played their last World Cup events in their careers, as said by them. For Suarez, the end wasn’t as expected because Uruguay got eliminated in the group stage, while Argentina have been carried by Messi through his second World Cup final, and are still alive.
After a huge performance in the matchup between Argentina and Croatia, many football stars who were present at the Lusail Stadium for the game reacted instantly on social media after the game. It wasn’t the case for Suarez, nor Pele, who watched the game at the hospital.
As Suarez has declared he became Messi’s friend during his stay in Barcelona, since then they have shared multiple stages as teammates and also rivals in the CONMEBOL qualifiers in the matchups between Argentina and Uruguay, but always with a lot of respect between them.
