🇫🇷🗣 Marcus Thuram: “I have a funny story with Lionel Messi.
When I was young, I went with my father to train at Barcelona because my father was a player there, and I had forgotten my shoes at home because I thought I had to go barefoot onto the field.
When I went in, my father told me he had to find me some shoes.
Suddenly, Messi appeared and asked my father, ‘What’s going on?’ My father said, ‘He forgot his shoes at home.’
Messi started laughing, took off his shoes, and told me, ‘Put these on.’ I put them on, but they were too small for me. I went home, kept them, and I still have them to this day.
When I met Messi in the final, I told him the story, but he had forgotten about it, laughed, and said, ‘Give me my shoe back, now you have one.’ It made me laugh a lot, and I told him, ‘Bring your son to training barefoot, and I’ll give him one.’
Messi is a very humble person, a talent that will never be repeated, and the best player in football history.”
