He once said as a kid he told his friends, Messi gave him an Argentina jersey, and they all believed it because he was basically the football guy in his group.
Years later he ends up meeting his idol on the pitch and tells him the story directly.
Messi just laughs it off and turns it into a joke with him.
He also jokingly told Díaz to “turn your truth into a lie” after flipping the story back on him.
Small thing, but moments like this make you realise how many players have these weird full-circle football stories.
When game recognises game. Respect.
