The rage for the Argentine team does not stop three months after winning the World Cup in Qatar and it grows bigger when the protagonist is Lionel Messi. With the presence of him, the captain and number 10, he unleashed madness in a grill in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo where he went to have dinner with his family. Due to the crowd that approached the gastronomic venue, La Pulga had to leave escorted by the security forces.

It was enough that the information began to circulate that Messi was in the Don Julio restaurant for dozens of fans to come to the corner of Guatemala and Gurruchaga to show their euphoric love for their idol in the last hours of Monday night.
When the Paris Saint Germain player finished dinner, the City Police improvised the operation so that he could leave the place. Escorted by the security forces, Lionel passed through the crowd and got into a truck with which he left the Buenos Aires neighborhood.

Messi’s arrival at the AFA stadium in Ezeiza
Messi arrived in Argentina this Monday morning with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their children Ciro, Thiago and Mateo, to join the National Team for the celebrations for the World Cup title in Qatar. Unlike other occasions, the man from Rosario traveled only with his family and no member of the squad shared a plane with him. Knowing the emotion that his figure could generate, the information on the day of his arrival in the country was kept secret and thus he was able to travel the few kilometers that separate the Ezeiza airport from the AFA property with a certain normality. .
