Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has joined football supporters in celebrating Lionel Messi’s World Cup win with Argentina.
Messi dazzled in a thrilling final as Argentina beat defending champions France on penalties after a 3-3 draw. The Paris Saint-Germain star scored either side of an Angel Di Maria strike.
The 35-year-old picked up the Golden Ball award for the tournament’s best player after firing seven goals, while he also became the first player to score in every round of the knockouts since the tournament’s expansion to 32 teams.
