Lionel Messi confirms 2022 World Cup will be his last

Dec 15 2022 Share

As Messi’s journey to clench his first-ever World Cup approaches, the Argentinian football legend has revealed that Qatar 2022 will be “his last World Cup”.

This year, Messi has been a key figure in Argentina’s astonishing journey, with the South American nation’s most recent match resulting in an incredible 3-0 victory against Croatia, securing their spot in the final. Thousands upon thousands gathered under the Argentinian capital’s Obelisk monument to celebrate the win and chant the name of their national hero.

“It is impressive to end up playing a final. There’s a long way to go for the next one, there are many years and surely because of age I won’t get to it”, Messi stated in a recent interview. He went on to state that this final will be Argentina’s sixth, and the second he’ll have played in.

Oftentimes a front-runner in the discussion of greatest football player of all time, a World Cup victory would undoubtedly be the cherry on the cake in Messi’s illustrious career.

With 4 Champions League victories, 10 LaLiga trophies, 7 Copa del Rey triumphs, 3 Club World Cup wins, 3 European Super Cups and so many more accolades under Messi’s belt, will the Argentinian legend manage to grasp that which he craves most?

Argentina are set to take on France this Sunday at 4PM in what is expected to be the intense culmination of an exciting world cup campaign.

Who is the new ‘richest man in the world’? Bernard Arnault overtakes Elon Musk

Who is the new 'richest man in the world'? Bernard Arnault overtakes Elon Musk
Dec 15 2022 Share

Twitter and Tesla boss Elon Musk has officially lost the throne of ‘richest man in the world’ to Bernard Arnault, chairman of luxury group LVMH… but how much do we know about Arnault?

If you didn’t know already, LVMH is a French holding multinational corporation and conglomerate which is home to some of the finest luxury brands in the world including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon and Tiffany & Co., amongst many others.

73-year-old Arnault’s net worth is currently listed at a cool $187.3 billion (€174.4 bn) on Forbes’ billionaires list, as his luxury goods empire continues to grow around the world. His rise to the top comes as a result of 51-year-old Musk’s net worth dropping by $4.5 billion after the tech boss made a number of tricky moves in relation to his acquisition of social media platform Twitter.

Not a stranger to the rich-list’s top spot, luxury tycoon Arnault keeps a relatively low profile, shifting from construction to real estate before eventually taking over fashion & luxury. His empire eventually grew to cater to some of the wealthiest people in the world, with over 60 prestigious subsidiaries making part of LVMH.

espite this, Musk still remains in second place with a $174 billion fortune, with Indian industrialist Guatam Adani in third with $133 billion and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos in fourth with $114.8 billion.
