🎙️ Rodrigo De Paul🇦🇷: "Messi's injury? I can't even describe to you how I felt when I saw him go down like that. Everyone knows he's not just a player, he's the soul of the team, the soul of the whole football! At that moment, it felt like time stopped. I looked at the coach's face, and I saw the same fear that was in all of our eyes. Nobody wants to see Messi injured, nobody! Everyone always wants him on the pitch, where he belongs, where he makes magic. At half-time, I ran up to him in dressing room and asked: 'Leo, how are you?' He looked at me with that calmness that everyone knows and said: 'Don't worry, Rodri, just some discomfort in the thigh muscle. Nothing serious.' But you know how it is with him. Even if the pain is intense, he never shows it. He's always like this, enduring everything for the team. That's how he is with us in Argentina. Now, all we hope for is for him to return quickly. Because the pitch without Messi isn't the same. We want him healthy, we want him playing, we want him happy. Because when he's happy, he makes the impossible happen. And that's all we want for him."
