Lionel Messi is bossing the news for obvious reasons. Primarily, the soccer world awaits his debut for Inter Miami. The legendary player will finally grace the league with his presence. Meanwhile, the Argentinian superstar also took out his time to do something for which he got criticized earlier.

Speaking of other developments in the soccer world, the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is just around the corner. The excitement about the competition surrounds every soccer fan as they will be supporting their favorite teams and their respective countries. Subsequently, Messi also extended his support to his nation’s women’s team.

Lionel Messi wishes the best for Argentina women’s team

Just before the commencement of the Women’s World Cup, set to take place in Australia and New Zealand, Messi showcased a fresh act of support for the Argentine National Team. On Wednesday, the 35-year-old joined Adidas’ latest campaign, alongside other renowned soccer stars. Everyone sported a unique and new national team jersey.

Surprisingly, Messi shared the video on his Instagram and also wrote a heartwarming caption for the ladies. He wrote, “Come on my @afaseleccion!

The video had some renowned names such as German star Leon Goretzka and England legend Ian Wright. The American actress Jenna Ortega, from the renowned series Merlina, and Messi’s current club owner, David Beckham was also in the advert. Be that as it may, it is indeed a heartfelt message from La Pulga. It is to be noted that his best wishes came after he got slammed for neglecting his nation’s women’s team.

La Pulga and the team were slammed for not supporting the women’s team

Recently, TN Deportivo reporter Daniela Lichinizer slammed Messi and Argentina’s men’s team for not supporting the women’s team. She said, “I haven’t yet seen a video or a message from the men’s team supporting the women’s team before they go to New Zealand. That may change as we get closer to the World Cup. I hope it does.” Perhaps, Messi’s ears may have heard this, as he eventually sent them a message.

Following the men’s triumph in December 2022, Argentina is looking to make a similar impact in the upcoming Women’s World Cup. Despite the women’s team’s struggle to advance past the group stage until 2019, they are fully committed to their goal of winning the prestigious trophy this time around. However, when it comes to support, the La Albiceleste women are not receiving the adequate level of backing they deserve.
