Milan, 18 July (LaPresse) – “We’ll give it our all.” Lionel Messi said this during a press conference ahead of the World Cup final in New York against Spain. The line-up of sporting legends gathered on stage at Fanatics Fest on Friday evening was almost unbelievable. There was Tom Brady, the greatest Super Bowl champion of all time. There was Novak Djokovic, the player with more men’s Grand Slam titles than anyone else. There was Kevin Durant, the only four-time Olympic gold medallist in the history of men’s basketball. And before leaving, they all took a selfie with Messi. Brady pressed Messi about a photo that went viral this week, showing him giving a bath to a young boy who has since become Spain’s star player, Lamine Yamal: “What an incredible photo,” commented Messi. Argentina had to come from 1-0 down in the second half to beat England in the semi-finals, had to come from 2-0 down in the second half to beat Egypt in the round of 16, and were forced into extra time by both Cape Verde (in the round of 32) and Switzerland (in the quarter-finals). “I’ve said it many times: we never stop fighting,” said Messi.
