🥹🇦🇷 Lisandro Martínez with very EMOTIONAL words for Leo Messi:
"Leo didn’t just unite the players in the national team. He united an entire country.
"That is the legacy he leaves behind.
"I wish it could have lasted forever. We have so much love for him, and that love will stay with us for the rest of our lives.”
"It’s incredible how one person can have such a huge impact and change everything.
"He is an example for everyone. He went through many difficult moments with the national team, but he never gave up. He always wanted to keep going and keep winning with Argentina.
"When I was going through my injury, I thought about my own life and asked myself: ‘How can I come back as the best version of myself?’
"Leo played a very important role for me during that time...."
