It all happened shortly after Argentina’s third goal, in overtime, by Messi, which may be his last goal in World Cup history. This is how the brothers from Castelar, province of Buenos Aires, told it in a note with Telefé.
“One of the players of the Argentine National Team (Dybala) burst towards where we were. He fell very close to us and when I went to see it, a Frenchman had it. I explained to him that the ball had to be returned to the police and he gave it to me “Afterwards I didn’t give it away for anything in the world. A policeman came to ask me for it and, since he couldn’t take it from me, a supervisor came to tell us that we could keep it.”
There began the odyssey to retain the ball and leave the Lusail stadium with the precious trophy. Here they tell everything, and that they also rejected money (more than 20 thousand dollars). Unless Messi calls them to ask for it, they will not sell it for nothing, they will insure it and “we will keep it from generation to generation.”
