“Something that deserves to be told” - Argentine signer shares heart-warming incident involving Lionel Messi and waitress at party
Apart from his heroics on the field, Lionel Messi is also known for his humility in the football fraternity. Argentine singer and former YouTuber Maria Becerra recently shared a heartwarming incident that highlights the World Cup winner's humble nature.
The 24-year-old singer met Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo at the Bresh Party.
"We arrived at the Bresh party, greeted each other, and Messi told me, 'Wait, I'm going to get Anto who was dying to meet you'," Becerra said (via America TV).
According to Becerra, Messi and Antonela greeted everyone before leaving the party. However, Messi returned five minutes later to bid adieu to the waitress who had served them all night, as he had forgotten to say goodbye to her.
"And there’s something that deserves to be told: when everything ended, both of them said goodbye to everyone with a kiss before leaving the party. And suddenly, five minutes later, Messi came back in and greeted the waitress who had attended us all night because he had forgotten to say goodbye to her. He's a genius, a great guy," the singer added.
In March, Maria Becerra became the first Argentine female singer to sell out the River Plate Stadium for two consecutive days. She is also hailed by many as one of the pioneers of Argentina's urban pop movement.
Lionel Messi's Argentina are aiming for three consecutive international titles with Copa America 2024 crown
Lionel Messi's Argentina are among the favorites to lift their second consecutive Copa America this summer. The tournament, hosted by the USA, is set to start on Thursday, June 20.

Argentina had a trophy drought of 28 years before a Messi-inspired side finally crossed the hurdle by defeating Brazil by a solitary goal in the Copa America 2021 final. Lionel Messi was the Player of the Tournament and ended with the most goals (4) and the most assists (5). Since then, La Albiceleste have never looked back.
After a rocky start in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Argentina managed to win every game and finally defeated France in the final to win their third World Cup. Lionel Messi and his men will be looking to make it three out of three in the upcoming Copa America.
Argentina have been placed in a tricky group alongside potential dark horses Chile, Peru, and Canada. However, they are expected to emerge from the group stages and challenge for the cup alongside arch-rivals Brazil and Uruguay.
