Lionel Messi is news on and off the field. The world-class player is on vacation with his family and friends in Ibiza, Spain, after a demanding season. During the summer days in Europe, an Argentine girl had the opportunity to meet Lionel Messi, who was accompanied by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
Sol González posted a video where she was seen next to Messi, but what caught attention was that she called the world idol "Leonardo Messi." The blooper went viral on social media.
"On June 27, I came to see David Guetta at Ushuaia (the name of a venue) in Ibiza, and look who I found. Dude, I can't believe it!" she said.
"So, what? Are you Leonardo Messi? I love you. Antonela, how gorgeous! No, I can't believe it. I need to take a picture now," added the business administrator.
She explained the encounter with Messi
However, González, who came to Spain to attend David Guetta's concert, stated that it was all a joke and that calling Messi "Leonardo" was part of the game.
"It was meant as a joke and that's it," revealed the young woman in an interview with 'La Nación' from Argentina.
