The meeting between Messi and Neymar was one of the most anticipated images of the Copa América final. The two world stars met for the first time in the dressing room tunnel before jumping onto the pitch and there was a very affectionate greeting between the two that shows the good harmony they have had since their joint stage at Barcelona.
The image, not because it was striking, defined one of the great singularities of football. Two friends who are rivals for a dream that moves entire countries. This is one of the great things of the beautiful game that we all like so much. But the most emotional moment came in full celebration in Argentina. Messi and Neymar merged in a beautiful and very uplifting hug for all the fans of the world.
