Hundreds of people came to see the striker at the site, but the priest in charge of the site denied the presence of the footballer.
Argentina continues to live with all the last world title won in Qatar 2022. An important element in the conquest of this cup was Lionel Messi who these days is in the trans-Andean country preparing for a series of friendly matches taking advantage of the FIFA date.
And it is in this context that The Albiceleste fans ended up causing curious events like the one that happened in a church due to the false rumor that the 10th was in the room. .
The information, which was generated on social networks, indicated that the captain of the Argentine team had attended the sanctuary of the Virgin of San Nicolás with his wife, located a few kilometers south of Rosario, where La Pulga was born .
Fans immediately discovered this rumor and went en masse in a bid to track down the current PSG player. There were so many people that they even started recording videos in which it was possible to hear indications of “it’s there”, causing the movement of a large mass of people .
Due to this situation, the priest in charge of the place denied the presence of Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo and stressed to those present: “First of all, I want to ask you not to forget that this is a sacred place. It’s good to be fans, devotion to Lionel, but let’s not forget that we are inside a sacred place . I am Father Luis, rector of the sanctuary and I want to say that the information is false: Lionel did not come and will not come, because he is in Ezeiza training for the match ”.
He then went on to say that “if you want, stay to pray, but try to keep quiet . Let’s respect the places and let’s know that Lionel is not there”, he insisted.
This panorama was very similar, albeit with the presence of Messi, to what happened to him earlier this week in a barbecue in the neighborhood of Palermo. On occasion, the former Barcelona man went to a renowned venue to spend time with his family and friends.
And as in the case of Sanctuary, word of Lionel’s presence spread and soon the surrounding area was filled with fans waiting to see him. . Of course this time Messi took it well and even came over to say hello and shared with some fans who managed to see him and even hug him as the striker was escorted to a vehicle .
Other lucky ones managed to find the vehicle and were lucky that Messi rolled down the window and waved at them.
From now on, Lionel Messi must prepare with the others selected by Lionel Scaloni to face Panama this Thursday in a friendly duel which will take place at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires.
