In an interview with TNT Sports Argentina, Lionel Messi spoke about his faith in God and how he has always thanked the divine for everything he has achieved. Messi said:

"I always say that it all depends on God, and what he wants. He decides the moments, I always felt that way, that everything happens for a reason. I always ask to God and I thank him for everything he gave me."

Lionel Messi made similar claims about God being on his side during the 2022 World Cup triumph just after lifting the trophy in Qatar. The Argentine said (via News. AM):

"I'm not the one to make promises, I just always think that God is the one who decides, God knows when the time is and what has to happen. And I am always grateful for everything that happened to me. What has to come, will come and I think he's the one who decides."

The 2022 FIFA World Cup saw Lionel Messi deliver one of the best World Cup performances of all time for Argentina. After a thrilling 3-3 draw in the final vs France, Argentina defeated their opponents 4-2 in the penalty shootout.
