When I was in the hospital one of my buddies called me up
When I answered the phone, he said “hey bro, I heard you’re in the hospital and you might die”

He then yelled into the phone “HA HA, FAG!”
And then he hung up the phone and blocked me until the next day

You can be sure that if Messi was top 2, these same people would be claiming him instead of Rodri.
