World Cup 2026: He's Not Human - Thierry Henry Reacts as Messi Breaks Down in Tears
Argentina rallied with three goals in 15 minutes, and Lionel Messi said he felt he had let the team down after missing a penalty.
Former France striker Thierry Henry discussed Argentina captain Lionel Messi on Fox Sports after the forward broke down in tears following the World Cup Round win against Egypt on Tuesday.
Three goals from Messi, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernandez secured a 3-2 victory for Argentina against Egypt in the World Cup Round.
Henry noted that Messi reminds spectators he is human because he missed some penalties, yet periodically "reminds us again that he is not human" during high-stakes moments.
The Arsenal legend described the Inter Miami forward as "unstoppable," emphasizing that Messi elevates his performance when his teammates need him, a trait Henry witnessed closely in training.
Henry cautioned that sometimes opponents don't "wake up the beast," noting that Messi becomes "very difficult to stop" once his competitive drive is fully triggered.
