The greatest football player of all time, Lionel Messi, won the World Cup on his fifth attempt, narrowly defeating France to do so. With the best to ever do it now winning every award available, it completes his trophy cabinet. Messi and his teammates will certainly celebrate this victory more than any others, and perhaps they’ll even ᴘᴜʀᴄʜᴀsᴇ one or two new vehicles. Here is a look at the cars that the world champions currently own in light of that.
Lionel Messi
After scoring a gazillion goals and winning everything, including the league championship in Spain and France, as well as the Champions League, Copa America, and now the World Cup, Mr. Lionel Messi will be remembered as the best to ever do it. The best player has some of the nicest cars available, so it shouldn’t come as a sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇ. His collection also includes a Range Rover, a Cadillac Escalade, a 7.3L V12-powered Pagani Zonda Tricolore, a Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale, and a Ferrari F430 Spider valued at over £200,000. Who among those with some disposable income doesn’t own at least one Range Rover?
Emi Martinez
Emi Martinez was having trouble making the Arsenal first team just over two years ago. Today, the former Aston Villa player is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. That form has propelled him to unprecedented international success, winning the Copa America in 2021 and the World Cup in 2022. Martinez often drives a car from his collection, such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with its upgraded naturally aspirated V8 engine and superb driving dynamics, when he isn’t practicing his goalkeeping skills. What’s not to like about a supercar with a celebrity owner?
Lisandro Martinez
Another center-back, Lisandro Martinez, goes by the moniker The Butcher, which sums up his playing philosophy perfectly. Although he didn’t get the ball until late in the match, he was crucial to Argentina’s victory. The Manchester United star enjoys spending some of his free time driving around in an Audi Q8 when he’s not winning the World Cup. Martinez made a wise decision by selecting the mid-size SUV, one of the most well-liked models available. Naturally, owning “one of the most” well-liked SUVs is insufficient, so he only went out and ᴘᴜʀᴄʜᴀsᴇᴅ a Range Rover Sport. They all possess the Range’s keys, including Lisandro.
Cristian Romero
The Tottenham Hotspur center-back, another professional in the Premier League, was crucial to Argentina’s World Cup victory. Romero is well-known for driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT off the field. This high-performance SUV has a 6.5-litre V8 engine that generates 475 horsepower. It also has upgraded brakes and a sport-tuned suspension over the base model. So a sporty car for a sportsman. But hold on, Romero has more automobiles in his collection, including an Audi A4. Since its introduction in 1995, the A4 has been among the most well-liked saloons available, and Romero has taken an interest in it as well.
Angel Di Maria
People would rank Di Maria as one of the top 20 Argentine players of the past 20 years if Messi didn’t exist. Although he is undoubtedly among the best, everyone appears to be on par with Lionel. Di Maria had a great tournament and scored in the championship game, demonstrating why he is a top-tier football player. When not on the field, Angel enjoys driving a Range Rover, Aston Martin Vantage, Lamborghini Huracan, Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
We Are the Champions
The ꜰᴀᴄᴛ that the Argentinian athletes drive ꜰᴀɴᴄʏ cars makes sense given that they are world champions. The World Cup champions have amassed a mighty impressive collection of automobiles, including Bugattis, Lamborghinis, and, you guessed it, Range Rovers.
