Andres Iniesta speaks about Messi

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Andres Iniesta is of the opinion that the GOAT debate will still rage on, despite Lionel Messi's recent World Cup triumph.

Messi inspired Argentina to beat France 4-2 on penalties to claim the 2022 World Cup, after a 3-3 draw in a thrilling final at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

The South Americans raced into a two-goal lead through Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, before two Kylian Mbappe goals saw the defending champions pull level in spectacular fashion.

Messi restored Argentina's lead in extra time before Mbappe completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot for France, to send the game to a penalty shootout.
