It was about Lionel Messi and Leandro Paredes, who published images of how they prepared in the anteroom.

Leo was absent for this double date, something that was agreed with the coach Lionel Scaloni, because the Rosario crack had COVID-19 in early January and delayed his recovery. As the albiceleste cast is already classified, the coach agreed with the team captain that the best thing would be for him to stay in France, where he returned to play with his club, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
