In the note, Argentina's forward number 10 Messi said that it was his dream to win the trophy. He also thanked his family and his supporters for believing in him and the team throughout their journey.
"World Champions! I dreamed it so many times, I wanted it so much that I still haven't fallen, I can't believe it. Thank you very much to my family, to all who support me and also to all who believed in us. We demonstrate once again that Argentines when we fight together and united we are capable of achieving what we set out to do," the post read.
It further said, "The merit belongs to this group, which is above individualities, it is the strength of all fighting for the same dream that was also the dream of all Argentines... We did it! Go Argentina! we are seeing each other very soon."
