The Polish national team, advancing to the knockout phase, achieved the best result at the world championships in 36 years. Robert Lewandowski had a big part in the team’s success, scoring two goals and providing one assist. Ultimately, Argentina won the tournament, defeating France only after penalties (3:3, k. 4-2). The undisputed hero of the team was Leo Messi, who was also voted the best player of the World Cup. According to Lewandowski, it is fully deserved.
Lewandowski named the best footballer in the world. He had no doubts about it
It was the world title that was missing from Messi’s cabinet. Now the 35-year-old is a complete player. Many experts believe that he is also the best footballer of all time, even better than Diego Maradona or Cristiano Ronaldo. Lewandowski agreed with this opinion.
“Of course, the World Cup is a dream come true for Messi. I know that for many years people put a lot of pressure on him, comparing him to Diego Maradona. Now, however, no one seems to doubt it. In football, he has achieved everything that could be achieved, which is why he is the best player in the world – emphasized Lewandowski in an interview with the Spanish “Sport”.
“Now is the time for him to enjoy this triumph.” I can only imagine what this victory must have meant to him and the entire nation. And everyone saw how fantastic he played at the tournament. It was very difficult to play against him and he is a well deserved champion.
Argentina’s victory at the championship was no surprise to the Pole. As he confessed, even before the start of the tournament, it was Lionel Scaloni’s players who were his favourite. “Whenever someone asked me, I said Argentina was the favourite. Even when they lost to Saudi Arabia (1:2, editorial note), I had no doubt that they would eventually reach for gold – he concluded.
