Thiago Messi showed his support for his father Lionel Messi ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final against France. A 10-year-old girl wrote the words of Argentina’s famous song at the World Cup in her notebook.
Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo posted a photo of Thiagos notebook on Saturday as an Instagram story (which only lasts 24 hours on the platform). “Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar” (Guys, now we’ve got our hopes up again) is the name of the song.
Lionel Messi is on the brink of a long-awaited World Cup winner’s medal when Argentina face defending champions France in Sunday’s final.
One of football’s greatest ever players is within touching distance of the one major trophy that has eluded him in his storied career.

PremiumBut after suffering defeat in the 2014 final in Brazil, when Argentina lost 1-0 to Germany in extra time, Messi knows all too well how much his World Cup dream was dashed.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the game, Lionel Scaloni said: “We have already decided on the strategy and we are playing in a way that we believe we can hurt our opponents the most and suffer the least.”
“We have our game plans, we know how to play them and now we just have to execute and I hope we can play the same game we did against Holland in the quarter-finals – but win the match without going through the pain of the penalty shootout,” Scaloni added.
When asked about Mbappe, Scaloni said: “To stop Mbappe, it takes a collective effort. But France is more than just Mbappe. We have to focus on doing a good game together.
“Sunday’s game is much more than Lionel Messi against Mbappe, it’s Argentina against France, it goes further.” he added.
The Argentina boss continued: “We both have the necessary weapons so that the game can be decided by the other players, not necessarily the two of them. Let’s hope it goes our way, but there are a lot of players out there who can end the game.
“Let’s hope that if it is Leo(Messi’s) last game that we can win the championship. It would be great and the most important thing is to enjoy it… What better scenario than in the World Cup final.” he added.
