The Aston Villa goalkeeper said, “He made a speech saying this was going to be his last one and that he was going to give it his all,” the Aston Villa goalkeeper told Prime Video. “I was like, little shivers, to Messi talking.

“Everyone stops talking.” It doesn’t matter who it is: the manager, the President of Argentina, or anybody else is present. They simply stopped talking.”

Argentina just defeated Italy 3-0 in the Finalissima, the third installment of the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions – The Finalissima, which pits the victors of South America and European championships against each other.

Messi had a magnificent performance in Argentina’s triumph at Wembley Stadium in London, where he was involved in two of the three goals, assisting on both. As he raised his second championship with his country, he was awarded Player of the Match.
