Someone at the stadium had the worst—or the best—moment of their career as a sound operator. 😅
Before the friendly between Argentina and Honduras, when everyone was expecting to hear the solemn National Anthem, the speakers started blasting “The Killer Bonbon”, one of those cumbia classics that any Latino knows by heart.
From the bench, Lionel Messi froze. He looked to one side, looked to the other, as if trying to confirm he wasn’t the only one hearing that. He wasn’t.
The expressions on his teammates’ faces went from total confusion to laughter in a matter of seconds. 🤣 The scene didn’t appear on the official broadcast—someone made a very wise decision there—but unofficial cameras captured everything, and social media did the rest.
The match went on, the correct anthem played at some point, and Argentina probably won. But let’s be honest: what no one is going to forget from that night is Messi’s face processing the cumbia. 🎶😂
