Haha, right? He's developed a fierceness and a fire on the pitch as he's gotten older, but can't imagine him bringing that to any real life conflict. Seems to be all smiles whenever he's not playing a match.
Noticed you're Argentine, by the way! Congrats on the recent trophies. Was cheering you on as someone who has watched basically all of Messi's professional career, and got proper emotional during that World Cup final. Lovely to see the team finally get there after a lot of heartbreak.
Yeah, I watched some footage of the celebrations in Argentina, and it warmed my heart even as a non-Argentine. Thought you were going to win it back in 2006 with that beautiful team built around Riquelme, and then again in the final in 2014. But sounds like it ended up coming at just the right time.
Glad it happened in the space of Messi's career too. The kid gave his all in so many tournaments and you could see how much it broke his heart to keep falling short. Was cute to see him finally get to hold the trophy after such an amazing career.
