During an interview with Lionel Messi, an Argentine journalist was moved to tears, which left the PSG star unsure how to respond. The emotional exchange began when the journalist tried to initiate a conversation with the Argentina captain. However, he was quickly overwhelmed by the experience of being in Messi’s presence. He showed his appreciation by gently slapping Messi’s knee before breaking down in tears. Although this is probably not an uncommon reaction towards Messi, the 35-year-old appeared unsure of how to handle such an emotional moment. Initially, he smiled and leaned back on the sofa, looking uncomfortable. However, his smile eventually turned into kind laughter, and he placed a friendly hand on the journalist’s knee.
As Lionel Messi was being interviewed by a journalist from Direct TV Sports, the journalist was overcome with emotion and began to cry.
As he converses with the PSG athlete, his emotions get the best of him and he fights to contain his tears.
As Messi stands there, he appears to be uncertain about how to respond to the situation unfolding before him. He takes a brief moment to collect his thoughts and assess the scene before taking any action.
Following the incident, the captain from Argentina sits back and chuckles at the sight before him.
After calming down the interviewer from DIRECT TV Sports, Messi resumes the interview and conducts it with the PSG star. Fans took to Twitter to discuss how Messi handled the journalist’s emotional outburst, with many recognizing and appreciating his humility. One user pointed out that Messi’s nervousness was of the good kind – the humble kind that prevents adulation from inflating egos. Messi’s awkwardness is a result of his purity and ability to stay grounded.
Some of Messi’s supporters found his nervous reaction endearing and commended his humility in the situation. However, others focused on how uncomfortable he appeared, with one Twitter user commenting that he looked hilariously awkward and like the most uncomfortable person ever. Another user was more direct in their assessment of the clip, stating that Messi was extremely awkward. Despite this, some fans admired Messi’s awkwardness and shared that they were moved by it, even though they couldn’t understand what was being said in the video. One fan called the video pure and emotionally stirring, saying that even though they knew nothing about the conversation, they found themselves getting emotional just watching it.
Leo’s fans on social media witnessed the uncomfortable moment in the video and how he responded. As Messi gears up for the upcoming World Cup, he is hoping to receive a similar response from his fellow countrymen. This will be his final tournament representing Argentina, as he has made clear before. With a 35-match winning streak, Argentina is one of the top contenders for the trophy at the Qatar World Cup. The team’s first match will be against Saudi Arabia, followed by clashes with Poland and Mexico in Group C.
Messi is looking to end the upcoming World Cup with a victorious win, after years of unsuccessful attempts.
