Say My Name Three Times | Kylian Mbappè
Pairing: kylian x reader
Series: Take Me On The Field
Request: Heyy, can I have a Kylian Mbappe request maybe they’re at a game of his and she goes to surprise him, she’s his girlfriend and an actress they haven’t seen each other in a month
Writer's note: this is the first story of the take me on the Field series. send in requests for our favorite players. You can check my prompt lists here.
Tumblr media
When I reached Qatar I was praying to everything holy for no one would recognize me. So far I had done a great job at convincing Kylian that I wasn’t going to make it to the final because of reshoots for the new project. The thing I loved most about him was that he didn’t even get mad about it. We were the exception of the rule that footballers dating actresses never ended happily. We both understood each other’s busy schedules, even when it wasn’t in our favor.
Of course the fact that he didn’t get mad didn’t mean that he didn’t complain. He wanted me there as much as I wanted to be there and it was eating us both alive. When I got the ok two days ago to leave the movie set I decided to surprise him, instead of telling and giving him a boost of confidence from the sidelines.
The hat covered most of my facial futures, along with my eye vision which was the reason I bumped into about 20 guys wearing Messi’s shirt. But thankfully my mask hid the rest of my face, as did my black as night sunglasses. To mix with the crowd I was wearing one of Kylian’s jersey’s and an old pair of sweatpants. Nothing about me was screaming celebrity, which was exactly the way I liked it.
The only one helping me with everything and knew I was coming was Giroud. He had spoken to the drivers, so one of them would be waiting for me. On the way to the French base, I stared out of my window, at the people, dressed and blue and white or in dark blue carrying the french flag over their heads. I smiled, truth was, kylian or not, football had been a part of me since I was a kid, the view made me emotional. When we reached the French base, the team had already left for the stadium. One of Giroud’s assistant was waiting for me on the foyer.
“Bonjour Mademoiselle!” he exclaimed when he saw me. He dealt with the security and helped me find my way to kylian’s room. All the way to his room, he’d mumble about how happy he was the Giroud has trusted him with this mission. I laughed at his excitement and thanked him a bunch for his help. When we got inside it instantly felt like home as Kylian’s perfume filled all my senses and I almost snuck in the bathroom expecting to find him by the mirror, shaving. I left my stuff next to the bed, as I raised my head I noticed he had a picture of us by his nightstand. I must have stood there looking at it for a long time because Giroud’s assistant, patted me on the shoudler “We have to go Mademoiselle!”
I nodded quickly, picked just my scarf with the French’s team’s logo, my phone and my jacket and ran outside with him. Everything else happened too quickly, the drive to the stadium, sneaking in with Giroud’s passes and all the way to the dressing rooms my phone was buzzing with Mbappe’s picture. I stopped just right outside the dressing room, smiling at myself. Giroud’s assistant looked at me confused as I answered the call.
“Babe! Où étais-tu ?” he asked, stressed, before I even had time to say anything.
“Je suis désolé! I got caught up at work! Has the came started?”
“Non!” I could hear the nerves in his voice. “Two minutes before we go out! I need your good luck!” While he was speaking I peaked through the door of the dressing room, all the boys were there sitting on their benches. Talking, laughing, putting on their uniforms. Mbappe on the other hand wasn’t there at all.
“You have all my good luck! You know that!”
“HEY! KYLIAN! JE DOIS ALLER AUX TOILETTES, MEC ! SORTEZ !” I heard somebody yelling through the phone.
“FUCK OFF ! Je parle avec ma copine!” he said shot back, my heart sinking when he called his girl. It sounded beautiful in any language he’d say it. I finally walked in the dressing room, everybody started exclaiming until I shushed them with my finger “You shouldn’t be talking to your teammates like the kyky!” I walked behind the benches, high fiving giroud as I passed him and got to the hall that led to the toilet. Tchouameni was knocking on the bathroom door. I guessed Kylian must have been inside.
“They shouldn’t be interrupting me when I’m talking to you.”
I patted Tchouameni on the shoulder. He jumped and covered his mouth when he saw me, he was as shocked as I hoped Kylian would be. I tilted my head to signal him to away for a moment and I got closer to the door. I could swear my heart was tied with Kylian’s because the closer I would get the more I felt it beat, like it wanted to jump out of my chest and right into his hands. I leaned on the door.
“If they gotta pee, the gotta pee Kyky!”
“Can I face time you?”
I smiled “I don’t have time. I have to go meet somebody.”
I heard him sigh and curse. I imagined him covering the microphone because I only heard it through the door, the he said on the microphone. “I really wish you were here, mon cheri!”
“Say my name three times, I might appear out of nowhere.”
He did it without thinking, he’d believe in anything if it could get me to be where he was. I laughed and knocked on the door.
“Putain de merde ! Laisse-moi tranquille Tchouameni!” He yelled, making me laugh again! So I knocked, with my palm, loud, like I was his teammate in need of the toilet. “PUTAIN!” He yelled and I heard him stand up, my heart reaching the speed of an airplane about to lift off. I heard him unlock, my breath becoming so stiff I thought I would choke right then and there and then-
“Merde Ts-“ he stopped. His eyes starring blankly at me, his voice eaten, his body frozen. I thought he was on facetime and the connection had fallen as it usually did and he was gonna stay like that for the next hour. I was scared to even touch him, as if he would reload and disappear completely. Then he spoke, relief filled my lungs, he was real. “Merde..” he said, this time softer, this time like a prayer. He didn’t even waste any time to put his phone back on his pocket, he just let it slip off his hand and wrapped his arms around me, lighting me up. I tied my legs around his waste, hiding my face in the crook of his neck, taking In his perfume and his skin. A drug I had long missed. He spoke curses and muffled words in my hair, until I pulled my head back, just so I could look in his eyes. I smiled widely and kissed him, the way I’ve waited for a month. He walked until I was against the wall, still kissing me and holding me like I was part of him. It felt easy, it felt as it should be.
We pulled back to breath and I leaned my forehead against his, our eyes saying a thousand words as we stared into each other’s souls. He was smiling like a dork, I think I was too.
“Hi.” I whispered and he laughed. Still unable to believe this was real. He shook his head.
“You came.” He whispered, his one hand reach my cheek, stroking it. I leaned to his touch.
“You said my name three times” I whispered back, getting another laugh from him. Then his expression got serious, his eyes fell on me with lust burning out of them.
“I’d say your name every second of every day non stop if I have to.” He answered and leaned in to kiss me again, this time deeper. We were interrupted by someone flushing the toilet. We hadn’t even realized his teammate had walked passed us while we were reuniting. When he came out he gave us a teasing look. Kylian kicked him in the ass, cursing him and then we looked at each other, laughing. It was as it should be.

Goal scorer | Jude Bellingham
summary: Jude puts on an extravagant performance in the World Cup with England prompting you to wanna treat him like the winner he is.
Tumblr media
WARNING: 18+, sexual content
"Bellingham puts it in the back of the net and England is up another goal" the announcer chanted as the stadium roared. England was owning the World Cup, Jude your boyfriend was front and center representing England. You let out a cheer of your own, before hugging
Jude's brother Jobe out of excitement.
You knew this was always a dream for Jude, to play in the World Cup.
Being able to come to Qatar to cheer him on was an absolute dream.
England was now up two nothing, and the crowds were as excited as ever. You knew just how good of a mood Jude would be in tonight, which left you with an idea on how you could show him how proud of him you truly are.
You made your way down to the England locker room in search of your boyfriend who was celebrating
Englands win. You finally entered the locker room immediately greeted by Jude, he lifted you up into the air before giving you a long kiss. "I'm so proud of you" I sang as Jude gave me the brightest smile, "I love you, you know that" Jude replied. "You better, I came all the way to Qatar for you" you laughed out as he playfully shoved you.
You grabbed Jude's hand and pulled him to the side so your conversation couldn't be over heard by the others.
"Tonight I'm going to show you just how proud of you I am" I whispered into his ear before leaving a sloppy kiss on his neck, a throaty moan leaving Jude's mouth as I did. "I've been thinking about all the things I would do to you as I wore this" you said pointing to your England jersey that read "Bellingham" at the back. ©
Jude licked his lips in an attempt to stifle a moan as you brushed your hand over his now semi hard cock.
"You're going to be the death of me y/n" Jude whispered back looking behind him to make sure no one else could hear your dirty exchange.
"We'll just have to see about that won't we Jude?" You replied back smiling, you gave him one last kiss before walking away to congratulate the other players on Englands win.
You returned back to your hotel room, mind running wild thinking of just how good Jude is going to make you feel tonight. And just how good your going to make him feel, everything was perfect.
You slipped off your clothes leaving you only in your panties and bra which wouldn't suffice for what you wanted to give Jude tonight. Instead you changed into Jude's favourite set, a two piece lacy black bra and thong. You slipped your Bellingham jersey back on making sure it didn't cover much before deciding to call up Jude and find out where he was.
Just as you went to pick out his name from your contacts list there was a knock at the door. Unsure if it was Jude you called out asking who it was, "the love of your life" a voice shouted back. You rolled your eyes as you went up to the door,
butterfly's filled your stomach as you were faced with Jude. "Hey" you breathed, "hey" he said back before pushing you back into the room slamming the door behind him, locking it.
Jude was quick to have you against him, lips clashing with both of you needing to be closer to each other.
"To much clothes" you said as you brought Jude's England shirt up his body, before working on his belt.
"Someone's inpatient" Jude mocked as you rushed to get his pants off as fast as possible. You nodded as you finally slipped his pants off of him leaving him only in his boxers.
Jude took your face and re connected your lips, moaning into it as he grinded his hard cock into you.
Jude pushed you into the bed as you toyed with his boxer strap. You moved to the side of the bed motioning for Jude to flip over so you could be on top. You climbed back onto Jude jersey still on.
"I think it's time to get this off" Jude said reaching up to the edge of the fabric slowly inching it up until it slipped off your body. Jude laid back down as you leaned down to start making out with him, bodies pressed together. You could feel Jude's hands inching up your back to your bra as he swiftly unclipped it, leaving open mouthed kisses all over your breasts.
"Jude" you moaned out in an attempt to get his attention, "yea" he softly replied leaning back into the pillows. "Tonight's about you, so let me" you reached down to pull of his boxers before continuing. "Let me make you feel good" you said before leaving a trail of kisses from his jaw down his abs making sure to trace them with your hands.
Finally coming down to his throbbing hard cock you took it in your hands and started pumping him. Jude let out a grunt as you spread the pre cum leaking from his dick around his tip. You looked up at Jude as you finally took him into your mouth, bobbing your head up and down making sure your tongue ran up and down at a face pace.
"So good y/n" "So fucking good"
Jude moaned out as he brought his hands up to your hair getting closer to his climax as his dick started to twitch in your mouth. You started deep throating his cock as his moans got louder, you pumped what you couldn't fit in your mouth. As he inched closer to his high.
"I'm close" Jude moaned out as his breathing started to speed up, beads of sweat appearing on his perfectly chiseled face. You moaned on his dick and it sent him off the edge, he cummed into your mouth and you swallowed every last drop.
You left his cock with a "pop" as a string of cum still connected your mouth to his cock. You wiped the cum that was on your face away as you leaned back into Jude kissing him fiercely. "You taste so good" you said breathless between kisses. He smirked up at you before his hands travelled down to your ass gripping it harshly before slipping off your lacy thong that was left.
"Ride me" Jude demanded as he brought me closer it I his lap, my dripping pussy now on top of his hard cock. You grabbed his cock into your hands lining it up with your core before sinking down until you were fully bottomed out. You let out a moan and the feeling of Jude, you felt so full, so warm, so safe in his care.
You lifted yourself up until his tip was left before going back down with a moan at contact. You continued as you found your pace while Jude started to thirst up into you hard. "Oh fuck" you moaned out as Jude hit you from beneath, you were screaming his name at this point not caring if the walls of the hotel were thin it was too good.
"Who's pussy is this?" Jude asked as we continued to speed up our moves. I didn't reply, not being able to form a proper sentence only a loud moan coming out of my mouth.
"Say it" Jude yelled as he grabbed my hips stopping all movement.
"You it's all yours, Jude it's all yours" "please don't stop" you begged before he harshly started bouncing you up and down on him.
A familiar knot formed in your stomach, you were close to your high. Your pussy was perfectly wrapped around his cock as you praised his actions.
Jude slid his thumb down to your clit as he started rubbing circles around it. "Cum on my dick" "come on, cum for me baby" Jude grunted as you came undone.
Shaking, your legs thrashing as he continued to pound up into you. You eyes rolled to the back of your head as you rode out you high focusing on how good he was fucking you.
Jude came soon after with a loud chant of your name. "I really do love you" Jude said breathlessly as you climbed off him, "I love you more Jude" you replied bringing him into an embrace.

The 99 Problems of Paris Saint Germain
by Jacques De Miscault
The club of the French capital is under a lot of pression this season, in addition of aa the World Cup who will take place in Qatar on 20th November, PSG must deal with a lot of internal problems. Bad buzz, desire to leave, and the list goes on.
Another season, another headache for Paris Saint-Germain. Following the match against Stade de Reims on 10/08/22, Killian Mbappe, the young superstar, posted a picture on social media, aa followed by an evocative hashtag “#pivotgang” (striker gang). An expression who confirms the rumors of the player complaining about the strict positioning that his coach Cristophe Galtier asks of him. Another earthquake on the French talents’ saga, who is not ready to deliver his aa judgment.
Tumblr media
(Copyright: The Parisian fans during a Ligue 1 match against Nantes. Vincenzo Togni)
Besides the players' issues, Cristophe Galtier is also earning some attention. The Parisian coach made a resounding statement on press conference last Friday. Annoyed about the repetitive questions about extra sporty, he said “You never talk to me about football.” “Whatever I say, you don’t believe me”. This declaration echoes the never stopping rumors on the bad chemistry of the locker room after the “penalty gate” between Neymar and Mbappe (him again). A situation who can explain the frustration of the PSG’ coach, also because the transfer window did not end the way the board expected. The lightweight operation did not go as planned as the club didn’t sell any players but loaned them, not solving the problem of a too expensive squad but only postponing it.
Tumblr media

Finally, it is important to remind that a very special event to the owner of PSG and Emir of Qatar Tamim ben Hamad Al-Thani will start in his own country in just over a month. A competition whose organization has been very criticized for the abuse of the workers on the stadiums’ construction and the issue on the environmental side, which is caused by the utilization of a lot of electric power to keep the stadiums cool during the burning days of the Persic Golf.
Also, the country announced that fans would not be able to stay in Qatar between matches due to a lack of hotel rooms. The fans will have to reside in neighboring countries and take planes to attend matches. Adding a little bit of salt to this already very spicy atmosphere.

5 Records Created After Morocco Defeated Portugal
Morocco won a narrow 1-0 victory over Portugal in the quarter-final match which was held at Al Thumama Stadium, Doha, Saturday (10/12/2022) evening. This fight gave birth to a number of records. Youssef En-Nesyri's only goal with a header in the 42nd minute completely changed the match. Portugal became the team that rushed to equalize while Morocco continued to defend while looking for quick counterattacks. With Morocco qualifying for the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, Walid Reragui's team has confirmed itself as a dark horse team in the world football tournament which was held in Qatar.
Interestingly, there are a number of facts and records created after Morocco's victory over Portugal in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals. What are they?
Third Team Outside Europe and South America to Reach World Cup Semi-Finals: First from Africa
The 1-0 victory won by Morocco over Portugal in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals set a new record. Morocco is only the third team outside of Europe and South America to have made it to the semifinals of the World Cup. The record is that the United States first reached the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup, then there was South Korea which reached the semifinals at the 2002 World Cup, where they hosted it.
However, now Morocco has added to the list of teams outside Europe and South America that have made it to the semifinals of the World Cup. Interestingly, Morocco is the first African team to qualify so far for the World Cup.
https://datastudio.google.com/s/gAtRM9lsd88 https://datastudio.google.com/s/u-o9aDFOWvs https://datastudio.google.com/s/kmTC3ZMV6m0 https://datastudio.google.com/s/k1l0s7AY2Tg https://datastudio.google.com/s/n1JYp_uOhYg https://datastudio.google.com/s/mNPyUMt7Png https://datastudio.google.com/s/p5I-YzXQOpM https://datastudio.google.com/s/s8C8t_Ck3cE https://datastudio.google.com/s/jcFnTEM7ocs https://datastudio.google.com/s/gFDhPNUnTMM https://datastudio.google.com/s/qLmtJYoenJs https://datastudio.google.com/s/jv4L3edEWLk
Morocco has only conceded once in the last 9 matches, and even then an own goal
Throughout competing in the 2022 World Cup from the group phase to the quarter-finals, Morocco has played five times. Interestingly, from those five matches, Morocco only conceded once.
In fact, not only five matches at the 2022 World Cup, Morocco also previously did not concede goals in the last four matches before the 2022 World Cup. In addition, the only goal they have conceded in their last nine matches, the goal against Morocco was an own goal. That is, none of the opposing players were able to tear the nets off the Moroccan goal with their own kicks or headers.
Walid Reragui is the first African coach in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and is now looking at the semifinals
Not only Morocco as a team that for the first time qualified for the World Cup semifinals. The coach, Walid Reragugui, is currently the first African coach to appear in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. This means, with Morocco's success in advancing to the semifinals, Walid Reragugui's record will increase later.

Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks the Record for Most Caps in International Football
After Cristiano Ronaldo took to the field in the second round of the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, the former Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United star managed to add another appearance to Portugal in world football. Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the appearance record with the national team at international level. CR7, as Cristiano Ronaldo is called, has played in 196 matches. That number is on par with former Kuwaiti star Bader Al-Mutawa. Meanwhile there is also a Malaysian player, Soh Chin Ann, who has recorded 195 matches with his national team.

  In the history of the World Cup, only four African teams have appeared in the quarter-finals. It turned out that Morocco was the only team that was able to finish the match in normal time, where the previous three teams always needed extra time or a penalty shootout. Yes Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup lost 2-3 to England after going through extra time. So did Senegal when they met Turkey in the 2002 World Cup, where Turkey won 1-0.
Meanwhile, Ghana even needed a penalty shoot-out against Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup. At that time, Ghana finally lost to Uruguay after a 1-1 draw. Ghana lost 2-4 in a penalty shootout.
However, what distinguishes the three teams from Morocco is not only that the Atlas Lions Team finished the game in 90 minutes, but that Morocco is the only African team to win in the quarter-finals and qualify for the semifinals.

2022 / 47
Aperçu of the Week:
“Everyone’s a murderer. All it takes is a good reason and a bad day.”
(Stanley Tucci as Jefferson Grieff in “Inside Man”)
Bad News of the Week:
According to estimates, 150 species of animals are becoming extinct - every day. For me, an unbelievable number. And a tragedy. After all, we are not talking about a comet impact or a gigantic volcanic eruption that changes living conditions so radically that some species cannot survive it. But the behavior of the parasite Homo "sapiens" (yes, the "wise" can be put actually only in quotation marks), which leaves no more space to the other species by its way of life. He destroys every habitat, ruins every ecosystem. Changes the climate at a pace that leaves no time for adaptation. Kills not just for food, but for trophies - and for fun. And as of last week, there are 8 billion of them. It's exasperating.
In Panama, the CITES Conference ended last week. Every three years, the 184 member states of the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" try to protect nature - in principle against man. The best-known example is the ban on the ivory trade. And what is the result? Exemptions for Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. Which stupidly cover most of this highly questionable market. So a toothless tiger. Who doesn't even exist in Africa.
Therefore, I do not share the current euphoria that has currently seized even the WWF. "A milestone was set at the international species protection conference in Panama for the protection of sharks." They are hunted for their fins and their meat. But they also often end up in the net as bycatch. The population of almost all deep-sea sharks has declined by more than 70 percent in the last 50 years. So all is well now? No, because it is the small print and the lack of legal binding force that make the whole maneuver appear in a different light.
Namely in that of the whales. Their protection has also long since been agreed. Officially, their hunting is now only permitted for "scientific reasons." What the largest whale-hunting nation on the planet, Japan, has solved quite simply for itself: a laboratory sample is taken from every whale slaughtered precisely for these pseudo-scientific reasons. The 99.999% remainder ends up on the fish market, as it always has. And Iceland and Norway (number two and three on the list) simply do not recognize the ban and engage in open commercial whaling. Bravo! So what has it helped the gentle giants? That's right: nothing. It is not what is written on paper that counts, but what happens in reality. Which brings us back to Homo "sapiens". And the quote from "Inside Man". Sigh...
Good News of the Week:
It was not really enthusiastic how the coverage and the public mood developed in the run-up to the men's soccer world championship currently taking place in Qatar. From astonishment to incomprehension and doubt to rejection. And now it has started. And Qatar and FIFA are being emphatically shown what's what. Normally, in a soccer country like Germany, a World Cup is a really big deal. Flags fly on cars, children wear national jerseys, pubs decorate thematically, every second package in the supermarket looks like soccer, the media is about hardly anything else.
This time it's different. The ratings are way down, many are deliberately boycotting the event - or simply not feeling it. There is no euphoric mood at all - neither here nor there. How could there be. A World Cup for soccer in a country without any soccer tradition. In early winter instead of summer. In an autocracy instead of a democracy. And: there is not even beer in the stadiums - that can't go well at all.
This shot emphatically backfires. Qatar wanted to put itself on the map with this event. It certainly succeeded in doing so. But not in the way it was planned. Nonsensical stadium constructions without a future at the expense of thousands of dead workers, suppression of women's rights and freedom of expression, a devastating environmental and climate balance etcetera are what will stick.
FIFA, too, is caught with its pants down: corrupt hanky-panky, an idiotic president, non-transparent structures, erratic decisions, presumptuous arrogance. And both have only themselves to blame. A melt-down in terms of image cultivation. Not an episode that will be easily forgotten, but a fundamental stigma. Which will remain. Good thing.
By the way: it's a real shame that actual highlights are lost in all this: Saudi Arabia beating Argentina, Morocco beating Belgium, Japan beating Germany: favorites that were thought to be safe losing to underdogs. This is how a sporting competition should be. Sporting - and not political.
Personal happy moment of the week:
I have already told you about my son's problems at school with the beautiful language French. We were even more surprised when he wanted to apply for a student exchange with a French Lycée. He did that very successfully (with a little help from a friend... ;-): on Tuesday we learned that he was the only student from his grade to be selected. So next year in February we will welcome a French student from Nanterre / Paris. And in the month of delight our offspring will celebrate his 15th birthday in the city of love. Mon dieu!
I couldn't care less...
...that Canada has unfortunately already been eliminated from the FIFA Men's World Cup. Because the "golden generation" has - a typical soccer expression - "played its way into the hearts". For their first participation was not really expected success. But there is now a new team on the block. Which will (also) compete in its own country at the next World Cup. There's definitely more to come. You go, canucks!
As I write this...
...I realize that because of the FIFA World Cup (which we are boycotting on TV) even our cherished Sunday crime movie "Tatort" ("crime scene") is cancelled tonight. FIFA and Qatar are apparently really doing everything they can to make themselves unpopular with me.
Post Scriptum:
As you know, when you enter a search term on Google, text suggestions or search queries are suggested to you - a very popular party game. Currently, the first suggestion for "Twitter" is "What do you need Twitter for?" A very topical, and on second thought downright philosophical, question. In this case, I would actually be curious to hear an answer from Elon Musk, the loose gun of the Internet.

Messi’s Dream Comes True In FIFA World Cup 2022 After A Long Wait
At the Lusail Stadium on Sunday, Argentina outdid themselves with a magnificent performance to win their third FIFA World Cup title. They prevailed over France 4-2 (3-3) in a penalty shootout to claim the trophy. Lionel Messi was outstanding for the team.
He scored two goals during the first 120 minutes and then coolly put the penalty kick in the back of the net during the shootout to win the game. Messi now has both major international titles, Copa America and FIFA World Cup.
Messi was the first player to step up to take the penalty kick, and he calmly and confidently converted the goal. Gonzalo Montiel, one of Messi's teammates, scored the goal that proved the game-winner, elevating Argentina to their third Football World Cup championship.
As soon as Montiel's penalty kick was completed, Messi was overcome with emotion, and his Argentine teammates rushed over to give him a celebratory hug. It was the first time in the great's career that he could win the Football World Cup.
Throughout the match, Kylian Mbappe of France gave Messi a run for his money to win a golden trophy. The attacker for France scored a hat trick to help the defending champions come back from a 2-0 deficit and then evened the match again after Messi made it 3-2 in extra time.

It was commonly believed that the competition in Qatar would be Messi's last opportunity to compete in the Football World Cup because he was 35 years old and approaching the conclusion of his career. And if that turns out to be the truth, he saved the best for last. 
He has now scored 13 goals at World Cup competition, moving him over Pele into fourth place on the all-time list of Football World Cup scorers, tied with Just Fontaine. His seven goals in this year's event exceeded Maradona's five goals in 1986's competition in Mexico.
Lionel Messi's Performance At Football World Cup
The Argentina captain competed in the 2014 final and lost to Germany by 1-0. However, the magic he produced to match in and out during his prime years playing for Barcelona did not appear to translate when he represented his country in blue and white stripes.
After scoring 7 goals and registering 3 assists in the 2022 event in Qatar, there was little doubt about who would be awarded the honor of being presented with the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball. The honor is presented to the best player in the tournament. 
Lionel Messi is the winner of the Golden Ball, making him the only player in the annals of the competition to have won the trophy on two separate occasions. He was selected as the most outstanding player in 2014 when Argentina's team came in second place behind Germany.
The Argentine, who is 35 years old, has won a record seven Ballon d'Or trophies, presented by the French news magazine France Football to the best international soccer player of the year. The Argentine also has a completely loaded trophy case. 
Now that Lionel "Leo" Messi has won the FIFA World Cup, his reputation as one of the best players in the history of his sport is likely to be cemented in the eyes of the majority of soccer fans. The World Cup trophy was the one significant missing piece until Sunday.
Finally, Lionel Messi and Argentina won the penalty shootout against France by a score of 4-2 following an extra-time thriller. However, Messi has never set out to become the player regarded as the GOAT, an acronym that stands for the best player of all time.
Lionel Messi’s Football Career And Achievements 
According to Messi, when he was a kid, he didn't fantasize about being a soccer superstar; rather, he focused on accomplishing small goals, finishing one at a time before moving on to the next. Messi is quoted as saying, "I fought for my dreams." 
Even as a small child diagnosed with growth hormone insufficiency at 11, Messi has always been a good athlete. However, the superstar, who measures only 5 feet 7 inches, is unwavering in his assertion that a strong work ethic has been the primary factor in his ongoing success.
Messi said, "Initially, I wanted to make a living as a professional player. After that, I challenged myself to improve and set fresh objectives for each new year." According to his previous interviews, he puts in long hours of practice to maintain his level of play on the soccer field. 
And even though he had been known for a long time as a superstar worldwide, it took him approximately 16 years and five World Cup competitions until he finally won the elusive title. He has ultimately fulfilled his dream and won the Football World Cup 2022.
Along with the substantial revenue he's raked in throughout his 18-year career, the new trophy is a welcome addition to his already impressive collection. According to Forbes, he has over $130 million in earnings for this year, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2022.
According to estimations provided by Forbes, this figure takes into account a base income of approximately $75 million from his club team, Paris Saint-Germain, and $55 million from endorsements and other off-field pursuits.
Being the best can result in significant financial gain. But Messi insisted that being one of the sport's all-time greats was never his intention; instead, he attributed his success to his efforts over a long period, allowing his natural ability to shine through.
Lionel Messi - The Golden Ball Receiver In The FIFA World Cup 2022
After each FIFA World Cup, various awards are presented to players who have distinguished themselves throughout the FIFA World Cup tournament. The Golden Gloves and the Golden Boot are two of the most significant awards that may be won in this competition. 
The Golden Ball is given to the player with the most impressive overall performance, including the goals scored and the outstanding abilities displayed. The player who finishes the competition having racked up the most points and goals, is awarded the Golden Boot. 
The Golden Ball award for best player in the FIFA World Cup 2022 goes to Lionel Messi of Argentina for his remarkable performance. Messi will not compete in another World Cup after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. So, it was his last chance, and he finally got it. 
The Golden Ball award at the FIFA World Cup was first given out in 1982 alongside the Golden Boot trophy, and ever since then, it has been presented at every football competition. This honor has only ever been bestowed upon a single keeper (Oliver Kahn in 2002).
A FIFA technical committee compiles a short list of players, and then a group of media representatives cast their votes on the candidates from that list. Every player is still eligible for the honor, even if they weren't a part of the squad winning the championship.
Italy, Argentina, and Brazil have all amassed ten victories, making each country the most successful in the competition. Because of the numerous instances of game-winning brilliance they have contributed along the way, Messi and Mbappe were the two leading contenders.
Kylian Mbappe, the renowned French attacker, was tied for first place with Messi for the most goals scored in this tournament with five goals. In addition to scoring goals, Mbappe has been able to assist his teammates on two separate occasions. 
Kylian Mbappe was a great possibility to compete for the Golden Ball because he had an accuracy percentage of 83.4%. But, unfortunately, the award can be won by only one person. And this time, Messi got that luck and finally received the prestigious Golden Ball Award. 
Final Words 
Overall the Football World Cup 2022 Finals in Qatar was a heart-throbbing, thrilling match full of excitement. Football lovers will remember the team's contribution along with Messi's performance. Keep waiting for the next round of excitement in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Super Eagles Goals by Nigerian Players
Nigeria, on the other hand, has amassed a significant highlight reel of goals throughout the years, with many of the Super Eagles' goals being appreciated around the world.
The following is a list of the top Nigerian Super Eagles goals, ordered from worst to best. Aesthetic appeal, build-up play, and execution were all prioritized. A goal would not necessarily be penalized for coming during a defeat because the significance of the situation in which the goals were scored is decreased.
The Super Eagles team has achieved tremendous success both within and outside of Africa as a result of the continent's development of some of the most dangerous forwards a club could dream for.
Following their AFCON success in South Africa in 2013, the Super Eagles represented Africa at the Confederations Cup. Nnamdi Oduamadi scored three goals as Stephen Keshi's team won 6-1 to get off to a strong start in the competition.
Another fantastic victory in June was overshadowed by the death of native coach Shaibu Amodu. Rasheed Yekini, Samson Siasia, and Mutiu Adepoju all scored braces as the Super Eagles defeated their European opponents 5-0 in Ibadan's Liberty Stadium.
In the preliminary phase of qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Liberian Lone Stars and the Super Eagles were placed in the same group.
The Eagles' 2-0 home and away victories were acclaimed, but George Weah's kingsmen struggled in the 2013 AFCON Qualifiers.
The Super Eagles returned to Lagos with a goal after being held to a 1-1 draw by Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou during the 1992 AFCON qualification matches. Surulere National Stadium saw the Super Eagles upset the Stallions 7-1.
The Nigerian national team played a friendly match against the neighboring Benin Republic on Valentine's Day 1977, but there was no brotherly love on exhibit.
Tiko Jelisavcic's Eagles trounced the Squirrels 7-0 in Lagos, thanks to hat-tricks and doubles from Thompson Usiyen and Godwin Iwelimo. While the Squirrels were witnessing the seven wonders of Lagos, Samuel Ojebode and Alloysius Atuegbu both scored goals.
Tumblr media
Prior to Sao Tome and Principe's 10-0 thrashing of the country in Morocco on Monday, this 63-year-old result constituted the country's greatest victory ever.
Onyeali Elkana set a Nigerian record by scoring four super eagles goals in this game, a performance not repeated until Yekini in 1991 and then Osimhen three decades later.
Consider visiting our website for more information on super eagles goals.
