The 2022 World Cup in Qatar was not only special because of the title itself, but alsobecause of how the 2014 World Cup final came about, in which Lionel Messi fell cruelly in the final against Germany, with a great goal from Mario Gotze in the last minutes.
In addition to losing cruelly, the final left one of the most painful images, that of Lionel Andres Messi crying when he saw Germany lift the much-awaited trophy. However, acouple of months ago in Doha, Qatar, he got his revenge.
Eight years later, Götze, the executioner of Argentina, returned to being a trend for celebrating the victory of Lionel Scaloni’s team. Through his official channels, heexpressed his happiness to see Lionel Messi world champion in Qatar. His attitude was considered an “apology” for what he experienced in the 2014 Brazil final, whenhe broke the illusion of Messi.
What Götze now said about his celebration after Argentina’s victory in Qatar:
In dialogue with ‘TNT Sports’ from Mexico, Götze said: “I was watching the final andsupporting Argentina, for the country and for Messi. I wanted them to win. I saw it with some friends, I was happy that they won the Cup. My son was with me and wehad a great time”. Thus, he confirmed his idolization for the best player in history, whohas not yet defined his future in Europe.
