Lionel Messi laments World Cup final loss as Argentina falls to Spain
Argentina were beaten 1‑0 by Spain after extra time in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. One day later captain Lionel Messi broke his silence on Instagram, writing that “the pain is huge and it will take time to heal”. He thanked the Argentine public, praised the team’s effort in reaching a second consecutive final, and congratulated Spain on the title.
Two Argentine defenders, Lisandro Martínez and Cristian Romero, later refused to shake hands with U.S. President Donald Trump (and Martínez also declined to shake FIFA president Gianni Infantino) during the medal ceremony, a scene that went viral on social media.
In the aftermath, Argentine radio reported advanced talks to stage a Finalissima clash between Argentina and Spain in Qatar later this year, offering Messi a chance for revenge. Coaches and analysts noted the match could be Messi’s last World Cup appearance, as the 39‑year‑old goalkeeper reflected on his career and the team’s historic back‑to‑back finals.
Messi’s message emphasized national unity, gratitude for the fans, and the bittersweet memory of a tournament that highlighted both his personal pain and Argentina’s proud performance.
