One small red ribbon became part of Lionel Messi's World Cup journey. After Argentina's opening match in 2018, Messi received a lucky red ribbon from a journalist. He kept it tucked inside his sock for years. Before the biggest penalty shootout of his career, Messi removed the ribbon and tied it around Emiliano MartÃnez's wrist. MartÃnez went on to make crucial saves as Argentina lifted the FIFA World Cup.
