Is Messi doing it again? Since the World Cup is back, we all have the same question. Soccer fans from around the world are putting their emotional stability in the hands of this man, and it doesn't matter whether you're from Argentina or not. Lionel Messi can get you emotional. He's got everyone speculating, the debates are heating up, and the memes are flowing. But if you ask me, I'd say let's trust the GOAT. And of course, the memes!

Don't worry, Messi's got this. He just scored a hat trick against Algeria and restored the fans' hope, proving we can still trust him. Is the team down? Call Messi. Need a goal? Give Messi the ball. Want to trust a man? Trust Messi. Okay, maybe that last one isn't that rational, but I would rather trust the GOAT than trust some other guys I know.

Even people who are not soccer fans love Messi. He's just a chill guy who transforms into a soccer god whenever he touches the ball, but he's still a chill guy wherever he goes, despite his talent. He stays humble, sitting there sipping mate, and delivering perfect meme content for us. He has given us lots of unforgettable moments over the years that can be turned into pure gold memes.

And of course, World Cup season without memes is not really World Cup season. We need the epic goals, the dramatic moments, and the funny reactions to be immortalized online. That's why we need memes as much as we need Messi, so this post is our humble tribute. Soccer may bring us together, but Messi memes keep us together. Scroll down to support the GOAT.

Will Argentina retain the trophy? Will Messi win the 2026 World Cup? I'm not a fortune teller, but at least I brought you some memes.
