Claudia Villafañe, Diego Maradona’s ex-wife, said it bluntly on LAM: the Number Ten recognized Lionel Messi as a better footballer than himself.
Not a hint of jealousy, just pure admiration for the national team’s captain.
She said it just before the semifinal against England, that clash that means so much to Argentine football. Villafañe went further and called Messi ‘an incredible phenomenon,’ making it clear that her affection for him goes far beyond the pitch.
She even has a ritual: she watches every Argentina match alone, ever since the tournament began. And although she was not in Mexico 86 for the historic match against England, today she is experiencing this World Cup with the same passion as always. 🇦🇷❤️ What do you think?
