I just want to start off by saying I’m not a big Argentina fan and that I’m still new to football. I would also like to mention that I know little about what Messi has done in past for his team and this was before I got into football and I’ve only recently started learning more about his story and everything he has been through throughout his career. Reading some of you guys reviews actually made me cry because I can tell that Messi has been a constant source of joy or national hero for you guys. To other people, he’s a footballer, but to many of you, he seems to represent so much more than that. So many memories, so many years of watching him, and such a huge part of your lives. Seeing how emotional this moment is for all of you made me realise just how special his journey with Argentina has been too adn I think it’s really beautiful how one person could bring so much happiness to an entire generation of people. Again I may not have been able to witness everything from the start but I’m glad to be able to be here and at least experience this small part of the story. I hope whatever happens from here, you guys can look back on all those years with pride and happiness. Thank you, Messi, for giving many people (including my friends) memories they will cherish and carry with them forever. Love you guys 🩷
