Lionel Messi finally ended his and Argentina’s World Cup drought after winning the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The World Cup final was satiating for the viewers as well as the players involved in it. With the FIFA World Cup in his basket, Lionel Messi has finally settled the debate regarding G.O.A.T (Greatest Player of All Time).
Along with these good events, there is one more astonishing news awaiting football as well as Messi fans. As per reports, Lionel Messi's room will be converted into a small museum.
The Argentina squad, managed by Scaloni, preferred to stay in the University campus instead of a five-star hotel as per their tradition of having beef barbecues.
The Director of Communications and Public Relations at Qatar University, Hitmi al Hitmi, said:
The room of Argentina national team player Lionel Messi will remain unchanged and will remain available only for visitors and not for residence.
Messi's belongings and will be a legacy for students and future generations and a witness to the great achievements Messi has reached during the World Cup
Here is the tweet from Qatar University displaying the rooms that Argentinian players stayed during the quadrennial event:

In the FIFA World Cup 2022, Lionel Messi started on a goal-scoring note against Saudi Arabia but the team endured a loss. However, things changed from the second match and Argentina kept their winning record intact. In the knockout stages, Lionel Messi scored a goal in every game, including the finals. Despite the heroics of Kylian Mbappe for France in the finals, Lionel Messi’s determination, passion and creativity took the team over the line.
With Cristiano Ronaldo having no club at his disposal, the Ballon d’Or race will see Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe squaring for the individual trophy. It remains interesting to see Kylian Mbappe can give close competition to his fellow Paris St Germain player.
