Messi’s reaction to interviewer’s tears goes viral

Lionel Messi's reaction during an interview is making waves on social media.

In an interview with Pablo Giralt for DirecTV, Lionel Messi admitted that as a result of the enthusiasm of the Argentine fans to win a new World Cup 'it is difficult to be calm'. "We are always considered the best, we are always considered candidates," Messi remarked.

The interviewer could not help but break down in tears at being able to meet Messi. During the last moments of the interview, Giralt took the opportunity to express his appreciation for the footballer from Rosario: "The only thing I wish you is that you be very happy, that you always do very well in life because you deserve it."

While the interviewer was crying, Messi seemed both mesmerised and nervous as an awkward smile spread across his face. "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to accompany you with my story, with my love for your career. I thank you with all my heart," Giralt said.

Messi thanked him and said: "I am excited to be able to reach people. I know that there are many people in Argentina and in the world, who have always supported me, they admired me both for football and for the person I am. I am also grateful for the love I got."

Messi also talked about his chances of playing the next World Cup.

Asked later about the possibility of playing in the next World Cup in 2026, he was honest: "I am already lucky enough to be able to be in this World Cup, which catches me at 35 years old. We have to be realists. Today I feel well physically. We will see what comes up so that I can continue ".
