Last week there was a GOATs conclave in the United States. On the eve of the match between Inter Miami vs. New York Red Bulls, Lionel Messi met Novak Djokovic precisely in New York. The top winner of the Ballon d’Or and the record man in Grand Slams met in a meeting that left a photo for history. Now, the tennis player spoke about the meeting. What did he say?
How did the meeting take place? Djokovic is in New York after his victory at the Cincinnati Masters 1000, participating in the US Open, a tournament he has won three times. For his part, Messi was in the Big Apple for his first game in MLS with Las Garzas.
This meeting in New York is not the first time that Messi and Djokovic have met on the same stage. Nole had been present when Paris Saint-Germain won the last Ligue 1 in France, while competing in the French Open in the same city.

What did Djokovic say about the meeting with Messi in New York?
After beating Zapata Miralles 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 and advancing in the US Open, Djokovic took a moment to speak to the press and was consulted about how the meeting with Leo went. Obviously, there was no shortage of praise for the 10.
“He’s a phenomenon. The first time I met Lionel was before Roland Garros started. I was about to watch a Paris Saint Germain game, when he played there. The second time was now in New York, talking about 15 minutes about the family of everything, of life. I would like to meet him again to talk about sport and all that because his mentality is a huge champion. I have a lot of respect for him.”Nole commented.
