That would be cool, but I don’t know if it fits with the reason I chose that card. Legend tells that during the 2021 Copa America, in the player’s residence, they were playing a game, taking ten cards and trying to predict at least one of them. Messi chose the 5 of Cups, and won. It’s not clear if he chose that for any specific reason, but the legend soon overtook reality. Messi had played 4 finals with Argentina, and lost all 4, Copa America 2021 was the fifth one, and he won. Messi had player in 4 world cups, without success, this was the fifth one… Then this image of Maradona playing cards surfaced… with the 5 of cups clearly visible, it was obviously an omen of great significance!
