@footballlovesfoco: 🎙️"When we were about to play against Barcelona (in 2012), my son asked me for a signed Lionel Messi jersey, and I promised him I'd get it for him. From the start of the match, I wasn't thinking about winning or losing or anything else, just about Messi's jersey”. “I told my teammates not to ask for it. At the end of the game, I went up to him, asked for the jersey, and he didn't hesitate to give it to me—he even asked for mine in return. What humility. However, as I entered the tunnel, I remembered that my son had asked for his autograph. I felt really disappointed and went to Barcelona's locker room, but they told me I couldn't go in”. “I waited, and suddenly Messi appeared, came over smiling, and said to me: 'Do you want my boots too?' (laughter). I smiled and told him: 'I won't be able to go home tonight if you don't sign this jersey for my son—I promised him.' The funny thing is, I hadn't brought a pen. I went to get one, and when I came back, I found Leo still there waiting for me, even though his teammates had already gone to the bus. He signed it, and I said to him: 'Thanks, and sorry for making you late.' With respect, he said: 'No problem. I don't want your son to be disappointed, and also for you, because otherwise, you'd be sleeping out in the cold tonight.' “I've played my entire career and never seen a player as humble as Messi. The best in history, with extra humility." #messi #viralphotos
