According to Tasnim news agency, Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentina national team, published a post on his personal page on Instagram yesterday (Tuesday), and in a part of it, he honored Diego Maradona, the late legend of Albiceleste. In this message, he wrote: “This cup is for all those who could not win the championship in the previous seasons, especially in the 2014 World Cup, where we went to the last stage. This cup is also for Diego (Maradona) who supported us from the heavens; Similarly, for all those who, regardless of the results, always supported the national team and did not stop supporting them even in difficulties.
Diego Maradona Jr., Maradona’s son, in response to Lionel Messi’s emotional message in honor of his father, thanked captain Albi Celeste to prove that he is not upset by the frequent comparisons between Messi and Maradona.
Maradona’s son was among the first to walk the streets of Naples with the Argentine flag after Argentina’s victory over France in the 2022 World Cup final, and celebrated the Albiceleste championship with a flag with his father’s photo on it.
