Messi’s Night at the Theater
On Tuesday night, the renowned theater Lola Membrives in Buenos Aires was filled with excitement as Lionel Messi made an appearance, accompanied by his family. The Inter Miami star, who was in the country for international duties with the Argentine national team, could hardly go unnoticed as attendees recognized him while enjoying the performance of ‘Rocky’, featuring his close friend Nicolas Vazquez.
Applause and Appreciation
Following the show, which was inspired by the classic 1976 film, the audience erupted in applause as Messi was welcomed on stage alongside the cast. He expressed his enthusiasm for the event, saying:
“I promised Nico that I would be here. Thankfully, I was able to come with my entire family. It’s not often we all gather in Buenos Aires since we’re mostly in Rosario.”
He went on to praise the production, emphasizing how significant it was for him to attend:
“It’s a wonderful evening, and spending it with you is what truly matters. You all did an amazing job. It was a pleasure to experience this night with everyone. Thank you so much!”
Upcoming World Cup Qualifier
Messi’s visit coincided with preparations for a World Cup qualifier match against Venezuela at the Monumental Stadium, scheduled for Thursday. As the team captain, Messi’s appearance in the match holds special meaning, considering it could potentially be his final game played on home turf in a World Cup qualifier. He remarked:
“This match is going to be very, very special for me.”
This statement reflects on his future with the national team at the age of 38.
