After the match against Italy for the Grand Final played at Wembley, the Argentine locker room was a party. One of the guests was Nery Pumpidonot in his capacity as former world champion, but as Conmebol’s deputy secretary.

The former goalkeeper entered the Argentine locker room with a replica of the Copa América, together with the president Alexander Dominguezrecently won by Lionel Scaloni’s team … and played with the 10 that Flea di Rosario used in the second half. It was an exchange of courtesies: The hand-delivered trophy appeared in the photos with the new winner at Wembley, the two conquests before the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Strictly speaking, Messi didn’t have to give him anything. But Pumpido was surprised – and kept, of course – the shirt which Lio instantly took off and gave him when he got the answer. Although Rosario did not score any of the three goals in the match against Italy, it is with this that he won a championship, the last before Qatar.

This year it was auctioned for almost 9 million dollars. What value will Messi have in the Grand Final 36 years later?
