Video: Lionel Messi congratulates Stephen Curry on 10 million Instagram followers

Messi sends Stephen Curry a message

Lionel Messi had made a promise to Golden State Warriors’ basketballer Stephen Curry that he would send him a jersey if he reached 10 million followers on Instagram. The Argentine has proven he is a man of his word and has sent him a jersey after the star hit the figure yesterday.

Stephen Curry had himself sent a jersey to Lionel Messi when the latter had reached 30 million followers on Instagram. Messi hit that target four months ago and Curry congratulated him on the achievement.

Both Messi and Curry have been having phenomenal seasons for their respective clubs. Barcelona are on course to win their 2nd consecutive La Liga title after enduring a mini-slump. But thanks to the MSN trio they are back on track.

Curry has also had a brilliant season. The Warriors have reached the NBA playoffs after a record campaign in the conference. They are currently leading their series against Houston Rockets 3-1. Curry missed their most recent game against Warriors due to a sprained knee but he has been their best player all season.

This is the message Messi posted on his Facebook page along with the video in which he congratulated him. “Hello Stephen Curry, as I promised I would, I'm sending you my shirt to celebrate you reaching 10 million followers on Instagram. Sending you a hug and best wishes for much success!”

Lionel Messi will hope his team will be able to win all their remaining matches in La Liga to ensure they win the title. Barcelona are out of the Champions League after being knocked out by Atletico Madrid but can still do the domestic double by winnig the Copa Del Rey as well.

The video is in Spanish and here is the translation:

“Hey Maestro as promised here is my No 10 jersey I’m sending to you. It’s always an honour for me to share this jersey with you and it’s always a pleasure to see you play.”
