Jugó sus 14 años de carrera en Boca, ganó 4 títulos y debutó a los 19 años ante River con este vendaje en lugar de un yeso: días antes se había fracturado la muñeca laburando, al caer de una escalera. Marcó a Labruna. Ganó Boca 2-1. No salió más.
QEPD, Antonio Ubaldo Rattín: gloria, ídolo y leyenda de Boca.
Zinedine Zidane on 🇦🇷 Argentina eliminating Egypt and reaching the World Cup quarter-finals after an incredible comeback from 0-2 under Lionel Messi’s leadership:
🗣️ “This is what legends do. When Argentina were 2-0 down, when the world thought they were finished, they found something inside themselves that only great teams possess. They showed heart, character, and the mentality of champions. They refused to accept defeat.”
“Lionel Messi once again showed why he is a player from another level. Leadership is not only about scoring goals—it is about inspiring belief when everything looks impossible. His presence, his mentality, and his ability to lift his teammates changed the entire game. Argentina followed their captain into battle, and they created a night they will never forget.”
“Egypt deserve enormous respect. They pushed Argentina to their absolute limit and showed incredible courage. But this is the cruelty and beauty of football. One moment can decide everything, and Argentina found those moments when their backs were against the wall.”
“Coming back from 0-2 in a World Cup knockout match is not just a victory—it is a statement. Argentina have shown the world that champions are not the teams that never suffer; they are the teams that suffer, fight, and rise again. Tonight belongs to Messi, to Argentina, and to a team that refused to let their dream die.”
El cachetazo de Paredes a Enzo, Lautaro se la devuelve, Thiago le tira una toalla a Musso, intenta esconderse, pero se la revolean igual.
Todo en el festejo del gol agónico de Messi.

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:
“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.
Not because he's my friend.
Not because of nostalgia.
Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.
I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.
It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.
One step to the left, defenders follow.
One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.
One glance over his shoulder panic.
That's not football.
That's psychological warfare.
And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.
They don't understand what they're watching.
Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.
He's Argentina's system.
He's their confidence.
He's their belief.
He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.
People ask me about the GOAT debate.
What debate?
Seriously.
What debate?
For me, there isn't one.
The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.
When I watch football, I don't see a debate.
I see Messi.
Then I see everybody else.
That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.
It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.
And today was another reminder.
He didn't need a hat-trick.
He didn't need to score from 40 yards.
He just needed to be Lionel Messi.
And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.
That's greatness.
Not when everything depends on you.
When everybody becomes better because you're there.
I've played against great players.
I've played with great players.
But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:
'This isn't normal.'
The scary thing?
Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.
And they still can't stop it.
That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.
Some players become legends.
Some players become icons.
Messi became a category of his own.
And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”
Los 40s son una locura. Algunas personas tienen hijos de 3 años, otras tienen adolescentes, otras ya son abuelos. Algunas están saliendo con criaturas de 26, otras con adultos mayores, unas más parecen tener 50+, varias se visten de 20+
es como un proyecto grupal confuso.
Nunca jamás Luis Brandoni se dejó tentar por las luces del poder o eligió el camino cómodo de los aduladores de turno. Radical cuando eran todos peronistas, pacifista cuando muchos elegían la lucha armada, demócrata cuando otros querían golpes, huyó de los populismos facilistas y, aún con enorme costo personal como el exilio o el enojo de sus compañeros de profesión, siempre hizo y dijo lo que quería sin importarle las consecuencias. Fue mucho más que un actor, fue un tipo que se paró siempre en lo que creía mejor para el país. Brandoni no especuló, no se doblegó, no se rindió aunque los demás lo dejasen solo. Un tipo clave, y fascinante, que supo ir mucho más allá de su profesión para dejar el recuerdo, como él quería, de un señor íntegro. Todo lo demás va y viene.
