As Argentina win the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar and retake their throne on the world of football, many Lionel Messi fans are jubilant that one of today's most enigmatic footballers got to achieve his dream.

An Argentina fan from Dallas, José Miguel Polanco, had tweeted back in March 2015 that Lionel Messi would win the 2022 and become the "greatest player of all time".

Before his prediction came true on Sunday, Polanco also tweeted that he was "scared" by the number of people who were reminding him of his tweet, jokingly saying that he might have to "stay in Qatar with a tunic" to avoid being lynched.
