Legendary Brazilian footballer Kaka showered immense praise on Lionel Messi. The Argentine icon recently guided his nation to a sensational Copa America triumph. Messi’s commitment to his country and the game was on full display during the Copa America final against Colombia. Messi had to come off the field early in the game due to injury issues. The early exit resulted in Messi bursting into tears on the sidelines. Recalling Messi’s reaction, Kaka pointed out that despite earning many trophies, Messi was visibly downcast as he was unable to complete the summit clash against Colombia last month.
“Messi must raise his head up and know himself well. They always said that Messi does not know that he is Messi, and today I see that happening. He has won 8 Ballons d’Or, the World Cup, and 5 Golden Shoes, and he is now the most decorated with titles. He was crying because he could not complete the match. What a great mentality,” Kaka said via MessiFc World, as per Sportskeeda.
“What the fans did will be unforgettable. Not just the Argentines, even the Colombia fans. When they saw Messi crying, they started chanting his name. This is something to be proud of. It is Messi. He has won his love from all over the world,” the Brazilian FIFA World Cup winner added.
