“Messi can hold his head high. I want him to realize who he is. People have always said that Messi doesn’t seem to know who he is, and I was able to witness that again this time.”
“He won eight Ballon d’Ors, six Golden Shoes and led the World Cup victory. He is the player who has won more trophies than anyone else. Still, he cried because he couldn’t finish the game. He has a really great mentality. It can’t be otherwise”
“I will never forget the way the fans in the stadium showed themselves, not only the Argentine fans but also the Colombian fans. They started chanting Messi’s name together as he shed tears. I am so proud. It was a scene.”
“This is Lionel Messi. He has won the love of the whole world.”
