It is no secret to anyone that talking about football at a global level would undoubtedly refer to fundamental and important players such as Lionel Andrés Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo today. The unknown as to whether the Argentine is the best player in the history of football has always been in suspense, taking into account his compatriot, Diego Armando Maradona, who died in November 2020, and the Brazilian star Pelé.
In turn, Lionel Messi not only responds on the pitch with arguments, but he also does so every time he uses his social networks by sending messages, which may even be unexpected or surprising, but which, in a few seconds, begin to go viral. And it is not for less because of the great player that he is. At Paris Saint-Germain, although the issue of his adaptation has been a bit complicated, or at least it was in his first season, the Argentine has lately had a slightly different facet, being the perfect assistant for Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe.
With an assist for Neymar, Jr’s solitary goal against Brest, Lionel Messi had a great performance in Ligue 1, and closed the night with a flourish on his social networks with a message that was quickly replicated by his followers. It turns out and happens that Manu Ginóbili entered the NBA Hall of Fame that same Saturday, September 10, a decoration that for obvious reasons left a number of answers for the former basketball player, and among them, one for Messi.
Lionel Messi’s message was projected during the event, and Manu Ginóbili’s previous team, the San Antonio Spurs with whom the Argentine won everything in the NBA, replied to the message. And there are some journalists who compare Manu with Messi in basketball, mentioning that the former basketball player is the Lionel Messi of his discipline.
For this reason, Lionel Messi sent a message, “It fills me with pride to hear a journalist say that Manu is the Messi of basketball. In fact, they should say that I am the Manu of football”. A few seconds after hanging it, the followers of the Argentine soccer player retweeted Messi’s message, and in turn, they tagged Ginóbili.
