Amongst all the messages Diego Maradona had over the last two days, the one from Lionel Messi was still missing until today.
Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona have a very special relationship since the Barcelona star began his career with Argentina. They finally had time to form a friendship when the former player coached the national team during the 2010 World Cup. It was during this time when they started to strike a closer bond that lives on to this day.
Any person in football who gets to meet Diego Maradona will tell you the same reaction after getting to know him. We are talking about one of the most beloved characters in the sport with an impressive level of charisma. There are few players or former players who can match his outlook in life and demeanor. This is the main reason everybody was worried about him when the news of his brain surgery broke.
Nobody wants Maradona to suffer because he always tries to remain in good spirits. As far as Messi is concerned, they’ve had their differences over the years but Leo always keeps his devotion towards Diego completely intact.
Messi sends a message to Maradona.
Just as any Argentine would do, Lionel Messi has Diego Maradona as his biggest idol. Apart from Ronaldinho, the current Barcelona captain will always keep ‘Pelusa’ at the top of his favorite players of all-time. There aren’t many who can top that list due to how important Diego has been for every person in Argentina.
As the whole world was going through a roller coaster with Maradona’s surgery, Messi’s message was missed among the rest. However, everything changed today as Leo sent the legend an Instagram message with a picture of the two.
“Diego, all the strength in the world,” Messi wrote on Instagram. “My family and I want to see you healthy again as soon as possible. A big hug from the heart!”
