It’s the news of the day in the sports world. This Thursday, Rafael Nadal, absolute tennis legend, announced the end of his career at the end of the season after the Davis Cup.
The Spanish champion marked an entire generation with his atypical style of play, his warrior mentality but also with his numerous Grand Slam successes (22) including 14 at Roland Garros. An announcement that caused the entire world of football to react, including Lionel Messi.
This Thursday evening, the Argentinian did not fail to pay tribute to the Spaniard in a video published for the Laureus Awards “ You are an example for everyone, for your work, for your perseverance. So many years at the highest level, I’m an admirer and I wanted to send you a big hug,”
he blurted. The class necessarily among legends.
Argentina will face Venezuela this Thursday evening as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi, back from injury and in good shape with Inter Miami, should be lined up from the start for this meeting.
