Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes it’s ‘inevitable’ that Leo Messi’s Argentina will win the World Cup: ‘It’s already written.’
Messi, who played with Ibra at Barcelona in 2009-10, has reached the World Cup Final for the second time in his career. On Sunday, he will meet Kylian Mbappé’s France. Les Blues will play their second consecutive World Cup Final, the fourth in the last 24 years. No other country has managed as many in the process.
“I think it’s already written who is going to win,” Ibra told media in Dubai, as quoted by AS.com.
“You know who I mean, I think Messi will lift the trophy, it’s already written.”
Ibra had previously shown his respect towards the Argentinean star, saying that he hoped Argentina would win the World Cup because of their No.10.
Ibrahimovic, 41, is currently training in Dubai and will return to action in the second part of the campaign for the Rossoneri.
He underwent knee surgery in May after Milan‘s title win, the first one for the Rossoneri in 11 years.
Really ???, Has zaltan watched France at all ?? Because in my books france are favorites.
@Fan of attacking football everywhere. Maybe he’s implying that it’s fixed.
They certainly had a dodgy penalty against Poland and Croatia
@snake, you’re right. It’s definitely fixed.
Yes it’s fixed the French team has all not got a mysterious virus . So penalties aren’t enough for Argentina anymore now that they play France
Argentina’s World Cup run reminds me a lot of 1994. Italy like Argentina lost to a lesser team in Rep of Ireland (Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia), but then they want on a winning run to the final against another team destined to win in Dunga and Romário’s Brazil.
I also think Messi’s presence in this team is similar to what Baggio was for Italy in 1994. A talisman the team looks for, and who in turn drags through the tournament.
I hope Messi wins where baggio failed.
