Archbishop Jorge Garcia Cuerva quoted Argentine soccer captain Lionel Messi during a Mass marking the country’s Independence Day. Messi’s words, which were posted on social media after the team’s 2022 World Cup triumph, emphasized the importance of unity.
The ceremony was attended by Argentine President Javier Milei and took place two days after Argentina beat Egypt 3-2 in a World Cup match.
Messi, 39, is playing in his sixth consecutive World Cup and has scored in each of Argentina’s five matches, leading the tournament scoring charts with eight goals.
