📼 La historia completa del primer VHS con el que Messi fue convocado a la selección argentina. Una producción que hicimos hace un par de años en @infobae donde su primer representante (Fabián Soldini) y Hugo Tocalli dan detalles inéditos.

"Lionel Messi" Por el video que subió en la previa de su despedida de Argentina: "Gracias por amarme tanto, los voy a extrañar". Me destruye completamente, déjenme solo.

mirá lo que corre messi y a mí me quiere hacer creer que ya no le da el cuerpo TE AMO ANIMAL

Are you kidding us Lionel Messi??!!! How can you do that 😭 My 39 years old man bruh

The person who made this video deserves an Oscar. Argentina thought it was time to hang Messi’s No.10 up. The fans refused. They ran through the streets, tore down the farewell tribute and kept wearing his shirt. “They’re not ready for this to be the end.” Then the message: “He can’t hang it up if you’re still wearing it.” 😭🇦🇷

🗣️ "VAN A VENIR MOMENTOS DUROS, PORQUE NO ES NORMAL LO QUE SE HIZO TODO ESTE TIEMPO. EN ESOS MOMENTOS TENEMOS QUE ESTAR NOSOTROS, ACOMPAÑANDO MÁS QUE NUNCA. HAY QUE HACER GRUPOS FUERTES, PORQUE HAY GENTE QUE QUIERE VER MAL A LA SELECCIÓN Y NO HAY QUE DARLES EL GUSTO"

Nike signed Messi when he was 14. They lost him over a few hundred dollars worth of tracksuits, a mistake now estimated at $10 billion in brand value. In 2005, Messi's father Jorge asked Nike for some extra tracksuits for his son, a routine request from the family of an 18-year-old who had just broken into Barcelona's first team. Nike's Iberian and South American offices both ignored it. He never got a reply. Adidas was paying attention. They offered around $1 million a year, and Nike refused to match because they didn't want a bidding war over a teenager. They were busy building their 2006 World Cup campaign around established stars. Once the Adidas deal leaked, Nike panicked and sued in Spanish court, claiming a binding contract. The judges found all Nike had was a "commitment letter" with no legal weight. Messi signed with Adidas in February 2006, and in 2017 they gave him a lifetime deal. So when he walks out at El Monumental on October 6 for his final Argentina match, in front of 84,000 people, the gold-lettered farewell jersey he revealed today will carry three stripes. Twenty years, 125 international goals, a World Cup, and every shirt sold along the way. All of it went to Adidas because someone at Nike didn't answer an email about tracksuits.

🚨Aquí tienen el documental de Lionel Messi campeón del Mundo con la selección Argentina hecho por BBC COMPLETO. 🔥Nosotros vivimos ESTO. ¿Qué más nos queda? 💣💣RT MASIVO💣💣

"Dame el comprobante de pago impreso con el concepto exacto del cobro". Con ese papel, al llegar a casa reclamé por escrito citando el artículo 97 de la Ley de Navegación Aérea, que prohíbe cobrar por el equipaje de mano. A los 20 días, el departamento legal (que sí conoce la ley, a diferencia del personal de tierra) me hizo una transferencia devolviéndome los 70€". Ese día aprendí algo clave: el que discute en la puerta de embarque contra un empleado sin poder, pierde el vuelo. El que paga, guarda el recibo y dispara la ley desde su casa, recupera su dinero.

Cómo no hipotecar todo para ir a un Mundial si pasan estas cosas en un Argentina vs Cabo Verde.

21 fouls for Spain 0 yellow card 25 fouls for Argentina 6 yellow cards 1 red card! Now Tell me who Rigged The @FIFAWorldCup 🤬 vamos Argenitna!!!🇦🇷🇧🇩💔❤️‍🩹🙌 x.com/RealBarcaAddic…

World Cup, Golden Ball, Ballon D’or at 35 then came back 4 years later at 39 and was the best player at the World Cup while playing in the MLS last 3 years. Alongside having a massive hate campaign, greatest of all time for a reason

People don't hate Argentina. Let's be honest for once in our lifetime. People don't hate Argentina. They hate what Argentina becomes when Messi puts on that shirt. They hate what football becomes when Messi steps into the field. They hate how time travels when Messi controls the ball. They hate how records crumble when he leaves the field It's not the 11 men on the field they have a problem with. It's the one man who makes the impossible look routine. It's the one man who, for nearly 20 years, has raised the bar so high no one else can touch it. I see the posts. The tweets. The legends, the pundits, the analysts, the streamers, the bloggers all queuing up to tell you how bad Argentina is. How slow. How finished. How lucky. How inhumane. How they control everything. But listen closely. When they say Argentina is bad, what they're really saying is: "I hope Messi is finally finished." That's the tax you pay for being great. When you're average, you're invisible. When you're good, they applaud you. But when you're great, when you're generational, when you're the best you become a mirror. And people hate a mirror that reminds them they will never be you. They criticize you because they can't become you. They doubt you because your very existence proves their excuses are false. So, if you feel that hate right now, if you feel the whole world waiting for Messi to fall, understand this: It means he is doing something right. Where was this hate when Maradona punched the ball into the net and called it the "Hand of God"? Where was it in Messi's early years? Everyone loved him until he started destroying records. Pundits got their predictions wrong, punters lost their bets, analysts failed to decode ideas on how to stop him, bloggers realized no article could explain how he plays, legends saw their records falling, and streamers just followed the trend. Rival fans started to watch football matches with microscopic eyes Everyone felt threatened. Everyone's favourite legend suddenly looked ordinary. Every analyst opinion became meaningless. Football became chaos. No one could match his ability, master his craft, decode his tactics, or predict his vision. Rivalries became toxicity. So, they did the only thing left. They turned to insults, disrespect, and trash talking. When Kroos said, "football won" he meant all the anti-Messi campaign has paid off. When Ronaldo happily reacts to Messi criticism it's a signal of tapping out of the pitch to clout chasing. Remember that “the fall of the great is the joy of the mediocre.” The hate is not a signal to quit. It's proof that you've made it. Greatness was never supposed to be comfortable. It was never supposed to be liked by everyone. Greatness was supposed to be lonely. It was supposed to be questioned. It was supposed to be attacked Dear Messi, never make yourself smaller just to make them comfortable. Never apologize for being exceptional. Let them talk. Let them tweet. Let them record their videos. Let them edit your clips and exaggerate your mistakes You keep going. Because in the end, history never remembers the critics. History remembers Messi

“Rich people don’t buy furniture at Ikea.” Zlatan Ibrahimović’s instant reply: “But intelligent people do.” When his wife found a house with no furniture, the broker tried to shame them. Zlatan shut it down with one perfect line. Zero filter. Maximum swagger.

Ese primer plano de Bruce Willis debía estropear El Sexto Sentido. Nadie lo notó. Pero la película nos decía la verdad desde el principio.

La toma final de una de las mejores películas de la historia (El Padrino 1972) le pertenece a Diane Keaton. Su carrera abarcó décadas, demostrando tanto brillantez cómica como un poderoso alcance dramático. Diane poseía un encanto inimitable. D.E.P.💔
