Messi regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time lost to Germany in the final of the 2014 edition.
The 35-year-old finally has the missing trophy that has eluded him for years which sparked wild celebrations on social media.
Some football fans believed the World Cup was rigged for Messi with the early penalty for Argentina.
Others are of the opinion that he has finally settled the debate as to the greatest player with long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

The former Lagos state governor who joined numerous football fans around the world on his social media page posted a photoshopped picture of Messi wearing a cap with his infinity sigil.
Along with the photo was a message that said, “Emi lo kan of Doha.”
The saying ‘Emi lo kan’ used to describe Messi’s world Cup triumph emanates from Tinubu’s campaign for the office of the President of Nigeria.
Similarly, Tinubu’s counterpart Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party equally congratulates Messi’s world cup triumph saying: “Congratulations, Argentina. Messi is why you must never give up, no matter the situation.
“He was saving the ultimate last for the ultimate best,” he said.
