WHAT HAPPEN
“Para Rafa, con mucho cariño admiracion [For Rafa, with much love and admiration]” read the inscription that Messi gifted Nadal on the kit, with it now being officially displayed at the Tennis star’s academy. The facility, located in Manacor, Spain, helps train young tennis stars to bring the ‘best’ out of their players – much like Leo and the Argentina national team.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
One year on from Argentina’s triumphant World Cup victory over France and Kylian Mbappe, it’s become a day of celebration to recognize the greatness of Messi. However, Nadal himself is an athlete who is deemed to be one of the GOATs of their respective sport. The Spaniard even backed Messi to win the Laureus Sportsman of the Year award ahead of him earlier this year.
