At the time of publication of the news, the post has already collected almost 58 million likes. However, it is worth recalling that the famous football player has more than 402 million subscribers in the mentioned social network.
I dreamed it so many times, I wanted it so much that I still can’t believe it. Many thanks to my family, to everyone who supports me, and also to everyone who believed in us. We showed once again that the Argentines, when we fight together and unitedly, are able to achieve the goal. We did it!
