Miroslav Klose, who was the greatest scoring legend in World Cup history with 16 goals, revealed a secret he had kept for some time. 📞🇩🇪

It all started thanks to Lionel Scaloni, his former teammate at Lazio, who connected him with Lionel Messi after the Argentine surpassed his historic record at this 2026 World Cup. The German was clear: they had crossed paths before on football pitches, always with respect, but they had never spoken for so long outside those chance encounters.

“It was very moving”, Klose confessed about the conversation with the Argentine. And as the perfect conclusion to that gesture, Messi promised him something any fan would envy: an autographed jersey as a memento of that moment between two goal-scoring geniuses. ⚽️🐐
