Lionel Messi MVP, kissing the World Cup trophy

Messi was Argentina’s man at this World Cup. He was the “leader” that led them to their third world title in their history.

This earned him the event’s MVP award for the second time in his career (he had also won it in 2014) and broke another record by becoming the first to do so. In fact, Pulga then kissed the World Cup trophy
