Last night, what we witnessed was the greatest football match of all time and history being etched. Lionel Messi lifting the FIFA World Cup after Argentina’s spectacular win against France in the finals was poetic in every possible way. Here was a man who had everything in the world, every possible trophy and title, but not the World Cup. And finally, he did bring it home.

However, way back in March 2015, a guy named Jose Miguel Polanco predicted that Messi will win the World Cup and become the greatest player of all time in 2022.
SUCH. A. DETAILED. AND. ON-POINT. PREDICTION!
December 18, 2022. 34 year old Leo Messi will win the World Cup and become the greatest player of all times. Check back with me in 7 years.

He tweeted this right after it was officially announced that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will take place in Qatar. The announcement was made on March 19, 2015. He tweeted this on March 21, 2015.

And after last night’s match, his tweet went crazily viral. While most people expressed their shock at the accuracy of the prediction, several others said, “Apna bhi kuch bata de bhai.”
