LIONEL MESSI ENVÍA UN ELEGANTE MENSAJE DE RESPUESTA TRAS LA BRUTAL DECLARACIÓN DE JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ

The Argentina national team showcased their dominance with a commanding 4-1 victory over Brazil in a recent World Cup qualifier, a remarkable feat achieved without their talismanic captain, Lionel Messi. The absence of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner due to a minor injury did little to hinder Argentina’s impressive performance, with forward Julián Álvarez taking center stage.
Following the match, Álvarez, who scored an early goal, was asked about Messi’s absence. In a blunt yet confident response, he quipped that if Messi had played, Argentina might have scored “two or three more goals.” His remark, though delivered with a touch of humor, reflected the immense respect and reliance the squad has for their legendary leader.
Messi, ever the gracious sportsman and leader, responded to Álvarez’s comment in a characteristically classy manner. From Miami, where he is currently undergoing rehabilitation, Messi took to social media to extend his congratulations to his teammates.
“Inside, outside, wherever—it’s always with this national team. Always speaking through soccer. Congratulations on the great game you played last night and also on the victory against Uruguay,” Messi wrote, reinforcing his unwavering support for the squad despite not being physically present on the pitch.
This exchange underscores the deep camaraderie and unity within the Argentina team. Álvarez’s remark, though seemingly bold, highlights the squad’s appreciation of Messi’s influence, while Messi’s response reflects his enduring leadership and encouragement for his teammates. As Argentina continues its journey towards World Cup qualification, their cohesion and confidence remain as formidable as ever.
