Christian Pulisic is beloved by many soccer fans across the United States and is the face of American soccer, still even “Captain America’s” have idols and the Chelsea winger took to Instagram to congratulate one of his.
Pulisic posted a picture of Lionel Messi with a text that stated, “Thank You” and a emoji of a goat signifying that Pulisic believes Lionel Messi is the greatest soccer player of all time. That claim after Sunday’s World Cup final is hard to disagree with now.
Messi was pivotal not only for his team during the final but in the tournament, scoring 7 goals, two of them in the final. Messi finally won his first World Cup title and Argentina’s third all-time.
