“Hey Messi Che Messistop your nonsense, put it on Mouthwe want to see you ”, exploded the box of candy average the second half of the match-bye to Riquelme. Leo looked at Roman and they both smiled. However, there is no case. The 10th world champion in Qatar ignored the popular demand. And the one from Boca did not wear… From the beginning to the end, the genius was part of a historic xeneize party dressed in albiceleste, with the shirt of the Argentine National Team.
In the semi-extinguished lights of the Bombonera, the voice of the stadium announced: “To you, Lioneeeeellllll Andréeeeeesssss Meeeeeesiiiiiiiiiii…”. And the crowd erupted combining the typical gesture of respect for the surname of the genius: “Messi, Messi, Messi…”. And Leo with his arms raised greeted.
Later, Boca fans sang: “Messi Messi Messi, you have to forgive me, in La Boca the greatest, the greatest is Román.” Leo, moments later, scored a good goal that eluded Carlos Navarro Montoya and found the empty goal. He played for almost an hour. He also heard how they sang “happy birthday” to him, shared with Riquelme: they were both born on June 24…
