Lionel Messi reduced a radio host to tears after sending him a heartfelt WhatsApp voice note after listening to an emotional overview of his career.
Messi, 35, is still revelling in the fallout of Argentina's historic World Cup win. La Albiceleste became world champions for just the third time in their history last weekend when Messi inspired them to victory in one of the greatest World Cup finals ever against former champions France in Qatar.
Victory at the Lusail Stadium ensured that Messi could capture the one major accolade that has managed to elude him during his illustrious career - with many now convinced that the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has now cemented his spot as one of, if not the, all-time footballing greats.
