Lionel Messi embraced Maxi López before the match, and López immediately became emotional.

As Messi was preparing for warm-ups, he spotted Maxi López and walked over to embrace his former teammate.

He became emotional when speaking about the experience at the event, visibly losing composure. After reminiscing about his time working with the Rosario native at Barça, the former River Plate player didn't hesitate to praise the captain under Scaloni.

"I hugged him on behalf of all Argentines. It was tight, very real, and of course, beautiful, because all my children love him. And to be able to come here and see him touched me deeply." After saying this, he deliberately looked away, trying to hide his tears from the camera.

At this point, Pablo Giralt brought up Messi's character, and Maxi continued: "He's humble, very approachable. We've talked many times about so many things, and I hope we can talk more. I've fought alongside him and won alongside him. Being able to come here is a gift for me."

Before meeting the Argentina captain this time, Maxi López also welcomed another visitor: De Paul. De Paul was heading to the locker room at the time, still chewing gum, with Paredes beside him. This time, the two just chatted casually for a few words, and Maxi López asked him for a piece of gum. De Paul agreed and gave him two.
