Lionel Messi caused mayhem when he announced his plan to quit international football in the aftermath of Argentina’s crushing loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final.
The Barcelona superstar said: “It’s over for me with the national team,” after suffering his fourth loss in a final for the Albiceleste.
As the world prepares to see if Messi truly meant his comment, Cristiano Ronaldo has joined the legions of people who are eager to see the 29-year-old make a reversal.
The Real Madrid man, currently preparing for a Euro 2016 semi-final clash with Portugal, is a known admirer of Messi’s talents, despite the two being locked in a head-to-head competition every season.
And as Messi shed a tear in the wake of Argentina’s penalty shootout defeat eight days ago, Ronaldo couldn’t help but feel for the little maestro.
