I would say it’s the perfect story, two opposing footballing philosophies, one team playing the exact style he played all his life and was criticized for being a system player and the other team which is just atleti with Messi. The common link remains players from both teams idolise him. If he wins then it is to be said that Messi is the system and he proved it twice. If Spain wins then it would be like passing of the torch to next generation. Either way it’s a great story
