In the midst of so much noise, there was room for gestures that move by their simplicity.
Is that amidst the songs, shouts, jumps and honking, a group of teenagers saw a cartonero dragging his car shirtless along the Avenida del Libertador and They gave him the Argentina national team shirt that one of them was wearing.
The man drove his car among the cars that passed honking their horns and the people who took to the streets to celebrate the title that the team led by Lionel Scaloni had obtained a few minutes earlier in Doha.
The colors that predominated were the blue and white of the shirts that were worn around him by all those who shouted for Messi and for the championship so often postponed.
While he was waiting to be able to cross Avenida del Libertador, a group of young people were moved to see him enjoying his humble joy and first they embraced him and then one took off the shirt he was wearing and handed it to him, almost as if to integrate all that happiness that was seething for Street.
Surprised at first and then moved, the man accepted it, kissed it and put it on immediately, delighted with the unexpected gift he had just received.
Won by emotion, he ended up kneeling down and thanking the gesture unable to hold back tears, hugging the boys and singing with them.
