On the bus, Messi sat on a raised platform with four of his team-mates, kept drinking from a glass in the bright sunshine and waved to the euphoric fans. The golden World Cup trophy was also presented. The six-time world footballer published a video with scenes from his career on Instagram. “It was almost three decades in which the ball gave me a lot of joy and also a little sadness. It was always my dream to become world champion and I didn’t want to stop trying even though I knew it might never happen,” he wrote.
