The 57-year-old Maradona later fell unwell. A video emerged of him being helped by two people into a chair. Sources said he went back to his hotel.
Messi took to Twitter and wrote, "It is marvellous to have won it in this manner. It is a deserved joy," He even wrote, "We knew God was with us and wasn't going to let us go out. I thank all the fans that are here, for all their sacrifice and to all those in Argentina that were always with us."
