🎙️ Reporter: “Vozinha, after the final whistle you walked over to Lionel Messi. What did you say to each other?”
🚨🗣️ Vozinha: “I went over to him and, before I could even say much, he hugged me and said, ‘Well done. You’re a very good goalkeeper. Your people should be proud of you.’ That meant a lot coming from someone like Leo.”
“I thanked him and said, ‘Thanks, Leo. You’re the best.’ Then I asked if I could have his shirt, and he smiled and told me, ‘Of course. I’ll give it to you in the tunnel.’ Moments like that stay with you forever.” ❤️🇨🇻🇦🇷
WE MADE THE RIGHT MAN FAMOUS! 🫡🇨🇻
