Lionel Messi's full message
The pain is very great and it will take time for this wound to heal. However, I choose to preserve everything beautiful...
The matches that we managed to overturn by giving everything and that will remain forever in our memory, the support of an entire country, which, together with the work and effort of this group, made us return once again among the best in the world.
Today it's hard to appreciate what we achieved, but this group went to two consecutive World Cup finals.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message. Once again, we managed to unite as a country and stand together, sharing the extraordinary pride we feel as Argentines.
