The first interview with Lionel Messi after his triumph in the World Cup in Qatar was chosen as “best human interest story” of the year by ‘New York Festivals’ in the category of radio awards.
‘New York Festivals’ rewarded the work carried out by the ‘Urbana Play’ radio station, which interviewed Messi shortly after he won, in the final against France, the third World Cup in the history of Argentina and the first of his career.
Messi scored a brace in the final and converted his penalty in the shootout to win the title after losing the 2014 World Cup final to Germany.
The Argentine, a player for Paris Saint Germain, finished the World Cup in Qatar with seven goals.
