Now it was the turn of María Sol who published a photo on her networks of her new tattoo in tribute to Qatar.


Dream fulfilled.

Promise, too...

María Sol Messi

not only enjoyed like millions of Argentines the feat of the Scaleneta in general and her brother Lionel in particular.

She too, like 10 and so many others, ended up putting her skin to fulfill a promise prior to the World Cup...

Messi's younger sister shared a photo with the Cup tattoo on her networks this week. "Promise kept,"

the 29-year-old clothing designer wrote in an Instagram story

.

Under the drawing that was tattooed on his left arm, you can read the glorious date of

December 18, 2022.

María Sol, who always accompanies Leo like the rest of the family, chose the artist Maxi Carreras

for the work , the same one who gave several tattoos to her sister-in-law, Antonela Roccuzzo.

Messi, marked the way

One of those who set the course for tattoos alluding to Qatar 2022 was Messi himself, who first tattooed the five of cups and then the three stars.

Messi's new tattoo.

The story of the 5 of Cups

In the documentary 'Sean Eternals;

champions of America', which showed how the consecration in the Copa América 2021 was lived from within, the players recounted a meeting in one of the concentration rooms.

Little by little, different members of the squad joined a curious game: there were 10 attempts to guess the letter that was going to come out and if they succeeded... they would be champions of America.

Every player who passed got it quickly, except Messi.

La Pulga threw and didn't hit, until at the last opportunity he said 5 of cups and went out.

Why did Leo choose that one?

In his last attempt, the Flea wanted to choose one that has a link to his career.

There were four finals (Copa América 2007, World Cup 2014, Copa América 2015 and Copa América 2016) that he lost playing with the Argentine National Team, that is why the fifth had to be the charm.

Messi's advance

In February of this year,

Leo spoke with Olé and when asked about the tattoo,

he replied:

"The letter yes, the 5 cup because they all did it and I think I'm the only one missing, of those of us who were there

. But no, Cup and I'm not thinking of doing that. Yes, the letter to comply as everyone did. I don't know when but I'm going to do it shortly".

The 5 of cups in the World Cup final

The 5 of cups in the World Cup final.

So much was said about this letter that it was present at the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. Once Gonzalo Montiel scored the last penalty against France and Argentina became champion, a photo recorded the exact moment of the players' reaction.

While some National Team players were running towards Dibu y Cachete, Leandro Paredes preferred to go towards Messi.

And at that moment the 5 of cups was formed..

.

An image to remember.

Also, if we look closely at the photo, we can find more coincidences: on the left are Huevo Acuña and Germán Pezzella, 8 and 6. Yes, they make 86, the year of the second star.

Ahead is Lautaro Martínez, the 22nd year from Qatar.

Going to embrace 10 is Leandro Paredes, 5, the number of the card in question.

Believe or burst...
