Fans have been waiting years to see Lionel Messi win a World Cup title, something that finally happened on Sunday in Lusail, Qatar.
While many observers were hoping this would finally be Messi’s time, one fan already seemed to know it was going to happen. A tweet by José Miguel Polanco from 2015 went viral on Sunday, showing that Polanco correctly predicted the date on which Messi would win the World Cup.
The one mistake in the tweet is Messi’s age, as Polanco has the Argentine as a year younger than he actually is. However, he got the winning team and the exact date correct, which is enough to get credit for a very impressive prediction.
