🚨Lionel Messi speaks about Emiliano Martínez crying after a defeat to Spain:
"Seeing Emi cry after the final whistle was painful. People only see the tears, but they don't see the sacrifices, the pressure, and everything he gives for Argentina every single day."
"Some people think crying is weakness. I don't. It shows how much this shirt means to him. When you care deeply, defeats hurt. That's normal."
"I told him to keep his head up. One match, even a final, doesn't define a player. Emi has already given Argentina unforgettable moments, and nobody can erase that."
"Spain deserved credit for their performance, but this group will learn from the defeat and come back stronger. That's what great teams do."
"I'm proud of every player who fought for the badge. Today we lost, tomorrow we work again. And I know Emi will be one of the first to stand up and lead this team forward."

In 2023, right before he started playing for Inter Miami, Lionel Messi ordered 8 pizzas from Banchero, an Argentine restaurant branch in Miami. The restaurant owner personally delivered the food himself and refused to let Messi pay. Later that night, Messi shared a photo of his pizza on his Instagram story. This turned into massive free marketing that completely changed the restaurant's brand image forever, their Instagram page skyrocketed from 6,000 followers to over 100,000 overnight thanks to Lionel Messi 🐐

I thought you said you didn't need us. Shio.
