After all, why did Messi become emotional during the interview?

Lionel Messi is a name that hardly needs an introduction.

The football superstar inspired Argentina to FIFA World Cup 2022 final with a dominant 3-0 victory over Croatia in the first semi-final.

Messi didn't just score Argentina's opener from the spot but was key to the team's overall domination in the match.

After Argentina sealed their progression into the final, Messi had a heart-melting interview with a reporter who got emotional thanking the 7-time Ballon d'Or winner for whatever he has done in his career.

The last thing I want to tell you and it's not a question, but I just wanted to say the World Cup final is coming and sure, we all [Argentinians] want to win the cup,

No one can take that from you and this is my gratitude, for the amount of happiness you bring to a lot of people," she added.

While the reporter was praising Messi for his performance, the seven-time winner couldn't suppress his smile
