The Argentine has a lifetime contract with Adidas, for which he receives around 23 million euros per year.
“Lio” Messi has a contract with PSG of France, through which he receives an annual salary of 40 million euros.
On TikTok, a user announced the award he received, after betting on Messi to be World Champion, a fact that was consolidated yesterday, fulfilling the dream of a large number of soccer fans.
12 years ago, it was learned that November 2022 would be marked by the World Cup in Qatar, the most expensive in history and which is preceded by that of Russia, a country that, ironically, this year has been banned from all competitions due to the war with Ukraine.
Undoubtedly, for a whole month, social networks and all traditional media, the theme of the World Cup was placed in the main trends, nothing strange if we consider that it is an event that is organized every four years and that, in general, expects the visit of a large number of fans.
Since 1930, a total of 19 countries have organized the FIFA World Cup, with Brazil being the most crowned champion of the sports fair. In addition, the South American country, along with Germany, France, Italy and Mexico, have hosted world soccer on two occasions and, without a doubt, something that should be noted is that, by 2026, Mexico will be, for the third time, one of the hosts of the World Cup.
Now, with the championship of the Argentine National Team, the so-called “albiceleste” added its third cup, which it achieved in the World Cups in Argentina 1978, Mexico 1986 and, of course, Qatar 2022.
Bet on Messi and boast “prize” on TikTok
In addition to the controversy and the countless complaints against him, the World Cup in Qatar will be remembered as the event that saw Lionel Messi champion, considered the best footballer of all time.
Beyond issues that are merely subjective, the reality is that the Argentine is one of the most influential in the history of the sport itself, and who, according to Transfermarkt, he is worth 50 billion euros. In addition, he currently has a contract with the Paris Saint-Germain FC club through which he receives an annual salary of 40 million euros.
Now, leaving aside the numbers and figures, what was done by “Lio” reached several soccer fans, who have not hesitated to show their fanaticism for the nickname “the flea.”
We can see proof of this in a video on TikTok, where a fan who decided to bet on Messi to win Qatar 2022 champion, shared the “prize” he won for his loyalty to the Argentine soccer player: Two thousand dollars.
