– We are getting ready to go celebrate where the mural dedicated to my father is located, in the Spanish quarters – and it so happened that, after Montiel’s penalty, they rushed to the most important place in Naples, dedicated to the memory of the hand of God.

Naturally, the magazine didn’t miss the leap and asked if Argentina’s triumph brought Messi’s legend closer to that of his father.
– I’m not interested in comparisons at all, I just want to enjoy this unique victory. They are useless, sterile discussions that only serve to divide people. When you create factions, you create an audience and I understand that. But we Argentines are lucky because two of the best players in football history have played for us, said the son of the divine Diego.
