I fear for our lack of dribblers. This is an important shortcoming. PSG has at least 4 great ones: Kvara, Dembele, Doue, Barcola Bayern has 3: Olise, Musiala, Diaz Madrid got 4: Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Diomande City at least 3: Doku, Cherki, Foden Arsenal has 2: Saka, Madueke Liverpool has Rio, signed Muñoz and is actively trying to target another dribbler.

Lionel Messi could not deliver the magic to rescue Argentina in their World Cup final defeat to Spain on Sunday afternoon. That defeat was heavier than it looked on paper, with Spain dominating the game from start to finish, limiting Argentina to zero attempts on goal until the game went to extra time, where they managed two wild shots off target as Spain won 1-0.

Lionel Messi has completed his sixth World Cup. Even at 39 he produced a phenomenal tournament and rewrote a huge number of records. Let us count them. ● He scored in nine consecutive World Cup matches — a record streak. It began at the 2022 tournament and was broken only in 2026 in the quarter-final against Switzerland. ● He became the first player ever to score at least seven goals at two different World Cups. In 2022 he scored seven, and at the 2026 World Cup he scored eight.
