“Messi, I love you”, “Wait, Messi”, “Messi…”the woman cried before breaking down in emotion as the number 10 of the Argentina national team rolled out the window, raised his hand and waved at them.

The sequence, which took place upon reaching a toll booth, was filmed and quickly went viral on social media.

Absolute madness on a grill

A little over three months after the consecration of the Argentine national team in Qatar 2022, and on the eve of the first matches that the national team will play in the country after that historic conquest, the global madness continues. Proof of this was the madness experienced this Monday evening in a traditional Palermo barbecue due to the presence of Messi.

The albiceleste team captain dined at “Don Julio”, a venue located between Gurruchaga and Guatemala, and the corner that was overwhelmed by a large number of fans who flocked to show their appreciation and support for Rosario’s idol.

The shot that rang out over and over in that corner was, of course, the version of “Boys” this was heard in each of the stadiums where Lionel Scaloni’s team played in Qatar, and this was one of the main factors why Argentinian fans were recognized as “the best fans in the world” at The Best of FIFA.

Mobile phones in hand and with extreme excitement, the attention of the fans who blocked the street was focused on the inside of the club, looking for a greeting or some response from Messi, such as the one he addressed to a boy with the reserve shirt of la Selezione that managed to get close to a few meters from the Paris Saint Germain player. “No, boludo, the fucking mother,” he said incredulously, raising his hands to his head, in a video he posted on Tik Tok.

Among the diners who accompanied the 10 Argentines were Adrián Suar, actor, producer and artistic director of El Trece, his ex-wife Griselda Siciliani and their daughter Margarita.

According to Suar, the dinner was not something planned in advance but something that arose spontaneously. The classic “I’m going to dinner somewhere.” “Come on, I’ll light up.” It is known that Adrián, in addition to Lionel, has an excellent relationship with Celia, the player’s mother, and also with Matías, one of his brothers.

“We were going to stay for an hour and stayed until half past one in the morning. It was a beautiful dinner, with lots of anecdotes, with lots of laughs,” said the actor and producer.

He also revealed that when people started to gather, the owners of the venue offered to take the player out the back door. But the position of the Argentine captain was firm: “No way – they say he said-. At least I want to go out and greet all the people there”.
