Lionel Messi and his teammates celebrate after winning the most coveted trophy of his career. Family members congratulated him on the field. Immediately after the end of the match, the audience-supporters congratulated Messi. At the same time, many former stars including his club teammates are congratulating Messi for winning the World Cup.

 

 Meanwhile, Neymar congratulated Messi. He received congratulations from former Brazilian star Rivaldo. But perhaps the biggest congratulations came from the legendary Pele. Congratulating Messi, he wrote in an Instagram post, "Diego is definitely smiling now."

 

Pele fell ill during the World Cup and had to go to the hospital. He was even placed in 'palliative care' at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo. After Argentina beat France 4–2 in a tiebreaker to win the World Cup, Pele wrote, 'Today football tells its own story. And it's as impressive as ever.'

 

"My dear friend, Mbappe, scored four goals in the final," Pele added, praising Mbappe. It was amazing to see this spectacular future of our game.

 Pele then congratulated Morocco for their excellent performance in this World Cup.
