Magnificent Messi

The world cannot forget Lionel Messi’s words, “I start early and I stay late, not for a day, but day after day, year after year, it took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.” Therefore, it is stunning that the Argentinian took everyone by surprise with his retirement (Editorial, June 28). He might have missed a crucial penalty but he will stay as a legend in a million hearts.

A salute to Lionel Messi!
