Messi’s room-number superstition fuels hopes for a fourth World Cup
Argentina’s World Cup base camp in Kansas has reassigned rooms, moving captain Lionel Messi from number 201 to 202. The new room number adds up to 4 (2+0+2), matching the superstition that a fourth star is within reach.
Adjacent room 203 will house key lieutenants Rodrigo De Paul and Nicolás Otamendi, keeping them close to Messi. The squad hopes the numerological detail will boost morale and focus.
Fans are embracing the omen, believing it could usher in another World Cup triumph.
