On the occasion of the premiere of Sean eternal: champions of America, a Netflix documentary about Argentina's triumph in the 2021 Copa América, some shocking images of Leo Messi, captain of the albiceleste, have come to light.
The Paris Saint-Germain star gathered his teammates in the locker room before the final against arch-enemy Brazil and launched an impressive motivational speech, showing an unprecedented face on the footballer from Rosario.
Messi, who would lift that Copa América thanks to a goal from Di María in the final against Brazil, the first title he won with Argentina, immediately captured the attention of all his compatriots with precise and sometimes forceful words.
The Rosario star reminds them that they have not seen their families for 45 days, that even his partner Emiliano Martínez has been a father during the concentration and has not been able to see his daughter, and that they have not complained about anything. "I want to thank you guys," he reiterates.
Messi also recalls that "there are no causalities", recalling that the trophy should have been played in Argentina but Commebol finally transferred it to Brazil. To Leo, he was even more powerful. "It had to be played in Argentina but God has brought it here, so that we can win it in Maracana," he shouts.
Di María, who would be the hero of the final with his decisive goal, confirms that he had never seen this version of Messi. "I had never seen a talk like this from Leo, his chain came off," he jokes.
