Antelo took a screengrab of their voice chat and shared it on her Insta story to congratulate the star Argentina footballer and the entire team.

Argentina national football team defeated arch-rivals Brazil by a solitary goal which was scored by Angel Di Maria in the 22nd minute of the match. The PSG forward beat the off-side trap to receive a long floater from the mid-field on the right flank and then chipped the ball into the net over the Brazilian goal-keeper Ederson.

After the historic win, Argentina coach Scaloni heaped praise on Messi, revealing he played in the Copa America win over Brazil with an injury.

“If you knew the way that he played in Copa America you’d love him even more,” Scaloni told reporters after Argentina’s 1-0 win at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

“You can never do without a player like him, even when he is not fully fit like in this game and the previous one. In the end, he did not throw in the towel and he succeeded,” Scaloni said.
