Messi goes viral
One of them also handed Messi a ball for his autograph. However, it was their playful farewell that stole the show. As they said goodbye, one fan jokingly commented, “Thank you, Leo, have a great day—and nice haircut!”

Messi asked if they were from Argentina, prompting one woman to exclaim, “Leo, I need your answer.” His puzzled response—“Answer to what?”—only added to the suspense. She finally asked, “Is everything okay?” With a grin, Messi replied, “Yes, everything’s fine.”
“Vamos Argentina” despite injury
This weekend’s qualifiers feature a packed schedule for South American teams. However, Messi had to step aside from the matches, a decision prompted by his minor but limiting injury.
