Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentina national team, received a painting from artist Posada Claudia Olefnik, ahead of the qualifying match between Argentina and Bolivia.

The painting depicts Messi with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The work was presented to the player by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), which coordinated the gift.

On his social media, Olefnik shared his feelings: “A dream has come true… The gift has reached its owners, Leomessi and Antonelaroccuso. Your gesture multiplies me. “This missionary is literally shaking with excitement.” The artist also thanked AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia for personally managing the delivery.
