Newell's Old Boys send Netflix poster idea for potential documentary about Messi

talksport.com, 19 December 2022, 17:18
Lionel Messi cemented himself as one of the greatest players of all time on Sunday by winning the World Cup.

After drawing 3-3 with France in extra-time, Argentina secured their third ever title in the competition via penalties.

Messi scored twice during the match and netted a spot-kick in the shootout on his way to glory.

It's the third international title he has won with his country, and the seven-time Ballon d'Or recipient has once again underlined his greatness.

His efforts have seen one of his former clubs demand a documentary is to be made about him.

Argentinian outfit Newell's Old Boys, the side where he spent much of his youth, have called for Netflix to produce a film on the star.

In a tweet from their English Twitter account, they attached a suggested poster, with Messi being joined by manager Lionel Scaloni.

Both of them played for the club early in their careers, with Old Boys simply saying to Netflix: "You know what to do."

Scaloni and Messi were also teammates for their country in the past, and have now won football's biggest prize together.

Argentina lost their previous final in 2014, an extra-time defeat to Germany.

However, it was written in the stars for the South Americans and their star player in what was a thrilling encounter against France.

Messi may never play at the World Cup again, but he has certainly etched his name into football history.
