After hoisting the World Cup trophy in Qatar 2022, Messi’s final decision had a lot to do with his family and, considering what’s happening, the legend might change forever US sports history.

Now, as a first example, Lionel Messi has already broken a record which belonged to names such as Tom Brady, LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo. The numbers are amazing.
