Fans’ ingenuity to watch Messi
Although practices were closed to the public, fans still found creative ways to cheer and greet the Albiceleste.
Many people stood on hills, fences and high places to catch a glimpse of Messi and Rodrigo de Paul and wave. They were also surprised to see Franco Mastantuono visiting his teammates despite not being called up.
This spontaneous action by the fans led the AFA to make a last-minute decision that excited everyone who wanted to see the players up close.
