Lionel Messi gave his first ever interview to a Brazilian media, and it's very wholesome.

NaijablaseTv ( Ettah Emmanuel O.)

🎙️ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿: “You surpassed Pelé, who was awarded 7 Ballon d'Ors by France Football, and now you have 8. Did you ever imagine such a scenario in your life?”  

🇦🇷  𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶: “No, it's hard to imagine everything I've experienced. When I was young, my only dream was to play football and become a professional. I never imagined winning the Ballon d'Or, let alone achieving it 8 times!” 

 🇦🇷  𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶: “I am grateful to God for everything He has given me and for everyone and everything that has allowed me to live this extraordinary journey, in which I achieved every possible title, whether at club level or with the national team. Now, all that remains is to thank God for everything He has made me live and continues to make me live.”  

🎙️ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿: “I don't know if you saw this, but after Brazil's exit, Brazilian fans started wearing Argentina jerseys. Despite the historical rivalry, did you ever imagine seeing Brazilians cheering for Argentina in a World Cup final?”  

🇦🇷  𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶: “Yes, I saw that, and it was amazing. I knew there were people in Brazil who held a lot of affection for me, but supporting Argentina to become world champions was something I did not expect.”  

🇦🇷  𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶: “As I said before, many countries in South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and people from various nations wanted Argentina to become the world champion because of me and because they know what this title means to me.”  

🇦🇷  𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶: “Therefore, I am grateful for all the affection that was reaching me, as well as the entire Argentine National Team. We sensed the wish of all these people for us to become world champions. I am also grateful to the Brazilians for the tremendous affection they showed us.”
