The Argentine captain received the warmth of the public while having dinner with his family, in advance of the friendlies with the National Team. On his way out, he had to be escorted by policemen to a car, amid a tide of fans.
A little over three months after the consecration of the Argentine National Team in Qatar 2022, and in the run-up to the first matches that the national representative will play in the country after that historic conquest, the World Cup madness continues. Proof of this was the madness that was lived this Monday night at a traditional grill in Palermo, due to the presence of Lionel Messi.
The captain of the albiceleste team dined with his family in “Don Julio”, local located in Gurruchaga and Guatemala, and the corner that was seen overwhelmed by a large number of fans who came over to show his appreciation and support for the idol from Rosario.

However, another no less important fact is that Lionel Messi shares a huge passion with Pablo Rivero, the host of Don Julio: both are fanatical fans of Newell’s Old Boys.
The first of the matches that the National Team will play in Argentina in the framework of the celebrations for the coronation in a World Cup after 36 years will be against Panama, this Thursday, March 23 at the Más Monumental stadium.
