A meeting of two greats 🤩
In 2021, Ed Sheeran attended a Champions League match where Lionel Messi was playing. The singer went down to the locker room and two legends met.
Ed Sheeran was excited, just like Messi, but no one whispered to him beforehand that the football star was not bilingual. “I praised him for three minutes until they told me he didn’t speak English”, the singer shared in an interview.
After that meeting, Ed Sheeran invited Messi and his whole family to a concert, since they all admired the Briton. A year later they went to see him in Florida and enjoyed themselves to the rhythm of Shape of you.
A memorable story of how a friendship was born between two stars with mutual admiration.
