PLANET FOOTBALL
Lionel Messi’s last dance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been the stuff of sporting legend – and we’re blessed to have seen it narrated by Peter Drury.
Drury has a reputation as one of the most poetic and articulate commentators in football, so it was only right that he got the chance to commentate on Messi’s finest hour – the legendary Argentinian scored twice, and again in the penalty shootout, as Argentina beat France in one of the most dramatic and breathless games in football history.
The 3-3 draw at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar will forever be remembered as a classic World Cup final for the ages. Drury was at his brilliant best when commentating on one of the finest footballers of all time.
“Lionel Messi has conquered his final peak. Lionel Messi has shaken hands with paradise,” said the commentator after everything was sealed.
“Lionel Messi a man, who has more than any other decorated our beautiful game…to receive from that game now, its most beautiful decoration. Messi’s meant to be moment. His fulfilment. His completion. It is done.”
