After 2022, none of us imagined we’d even be here. We all thought Messi wouldn’t play in 2026. At 39, he reached a level no athlete has ever reached at that age. He owed us nothing, yet gave us everything.
You’ll always be the greatest, Leo.
📲 Chiqui Tapia to Leo Messi:
"A story that becomes eternal. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to thank you for everything you’ve given us, captain.
"For your football, for your unbreakable leadership on and off the pitch, and for teaching an entire nation to dream and to fight with its heart in its hands until the very last second.
"Thank you for every moment of joy you etched into our souls, for every tear of pride, and for carrying our flag to the highest stage on Earth.
"You’re eternal, Leo. You’re a giant. You made this the happiest country in the world, and this home, your home, will love you forever." ❤️🇦🇷
Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
