🎙️ Rodrigo De Paul 🇦🇷 on Messi’s injury:

“I can’t even describe how I felt when I saw him go down. Messi isn’t just a player — he’s the soul of the team, the soul of football.

It felt like time stopped. I looked at the coach’s face and saw the same fear we all had. No one wants to see Messi hurt — everyone wants him on the pitch, where he belongs, making magic.

At half-time, I rushed to him in the dressing room and asked, ‘Leo, how are you?’ He looked at me with that calm expression and said, ‘Don’t worry, Rodri… just some discomfort in the thigh. Nothing serious.’

Now, all we want is for him to come back quickly. Football isn’t the same without Messi. We want him healthy, we want him happy — because when he’s happy, the impossible becomes reality.”
