Messi was collectively worshiped by Angolan fans in the away game! He was even presented with a trophy by the president!

November 15th. Argentina played against the Argentine national team in Angola and won 2-0. Messi scored 1 goal, 1 assist, and scored 2 goals. All the goals were related to Messi. Messi also clocked out after scoring a goal to reward local fans.

Although this is a friendly match in name, there are actually some differences. For example, Angola didn't know whether they were too excited to see Messi and Argentina, or because it was an important day for their country, so they were more excited. Messi was even tackled. On the one hand, the friendly match is more serious, and on the other hand, because this is an important day for the country of Angola, this game actually has greater significance and is equivalent to a gift to the country.

This is the 50th anniversary of Angola’s independence, so they invited Messi and Argentina. The Angolan president came to the scene and gave Messi a gift. On behalf of Argentina, Messi gave his signed jersey to the President of Angola, and the President of Angola gave Messi a commemorative trophy commemorating the 50th anniversary of Angola's independence.

Messi is obviously the focus of the game, so Angolan fans have switched sides, wearing Messi's jerseys and supporting the Argentine national team. When Messi arrived in Angola, a large number of fans in Angola were chanting Messi's name. After Messi scored, the Angolan fans applauded, cheered, worshiped Messi, and even raised Messi's jersey. At this moment, nothing matters about the national team, Messi is the most important.

This is Messi's unique charm, he can make fans switch sides. Not to mention friendly matches, even the main matches are the same. Brazilian fans used to be old enemies with Argentina, so in 2014, even if Argentina had to play Germany in the final, which had just beaten them 7-0 in the semifinals, Brazilian fans supported Germany. But in 2021, Brazil hosted the Copa America on its own turf, and the national team also reached the finals. However, this time Brazilian fans turned against Messi because they supported Argentina in defeating Brazil at home to win the Copa America, which angered Neymar.
