Lionel Messi has described 2022 as a year he will "never forget" after finally getting his hands on the most-desired trophy by any footballer, the World Cup.
Reflecting on how the year under review unfolded, Messi first underlined the value of winning the World Cup.
"A year I will never forget has ended," Messi wrote in his Instagram post as quoted by GOAL. "The dream I always chased finally came true.
He also took time to appreciate his"wonderful family" and "friends" in his New Year's message, per Mirror.
"But that wouldn't be worth anything either if I couldn't share it with a wonderful family, the best one can have, and friends who always supported me and didn't let me stay on the floor every time I fell.
"I also want to have a very special memory for all the people who follow me, it's amazing to be able to share this path with all of you.
"It would be impossible to get where I came without so much encouragement that I received so much from all the people in my country as from Paris, Barcelona and so many other cities and countries from which I have been receiving love.
"I wish this year was also wonderful for everyone and I wish you all the health and strength to remain happy in 2023. A huge hug to all!"
