Former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has expressed hope that Lionel Messi can win the World Cup in Qatar to confirm his status as the best football player in history.
— Yes, it is important, because the World Cup is different. Like Maradona or Pele, you have to prove your status with this trophy, which is the highest value in football.
This is the only thing that Messi is missing and I hope it will happen in Qatar. To confirm that Messi is one of the best, in the same place as Maradona and Pele, Pochettino said.
The Argentina national team at the 2022 World Cup will start with a match against Saudi Arabia. The game is scheduled for November 22nd.
