From eight times MotoGP world champion, to World Cup soccer champion. Marc Márquez surrenders to the greatness of the Argentine star, whom he considers "an idol and a reference". In a solidarity act at the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, the Cervera driver was explicit: "If you like football, yesterday you had to go with Messi."
The Cervera pilot posted a post on his social networks congratulating Leo Messi and the Argentines. "You chased it and you got it! At your feet Messi! You deserve everything, idol!", wrote the Catalan.
“I was tired of hearing from people who said that “he is not the best because he lacks a World Cup… Well, it has already been seen in this World Cup. Obviously there is a team behind it, but Messi was the lung of the Argentine team. He is an idol, he is a reference for me, and I lived the game as if my brother was playing. He deserves it. It was the last chance he had ”, commented Marc Márquez at the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, after making a solidarity donation for an ophthalmological aid project in Haiti.
Marc Márquez, declared culé and follower of Messi, was exhaustive in his consideration: "If you like football, yesterday you went with Messi. Whether he has played with one team or another is the same. Mbappé is a lot of Mbappé and France too, but they already had a World Cup. Messi was missing the World Cup. He grabs the entire team on the field and was the lungs of the team, also in the locker room. The teammates had the obligation or felt the pressure that it was the last chance for Messi."
For 93 there is no turning back: "For me, Messi is the best or one of the best in history, who has marked an era".
The MotoGP rider explained that he watched the final in Cervera "at a friend's house; it was an exciting final to the end and with unexpected twists, comparable to the end of a MotoGP World Championship in which a rider has it done and is The tortilla turns. It was an intense game of emotions, the best way that Messi and Argentina – for me it's Messi – could achieve it".
