“What a pleasure to see you again the song says!!! I love you so much!” Diego Schwartzman described a photo he took with Messi during the match.
Diego also took a picture with David Beckham.
Schwartzman is a big fan of Lionel Messi
Besides being a fan of Leo Messi, Diego Schwartzman also defended the superstar from criticism in the past, more specifically when Argentina lost against Colombia in America’s Cup. “Those who criticize know nothing about life and sports. But there are more people who love him than the ones who don’t.
Since a few years people have been caring about him more, they realized how big he is and that he always wants to wear the Argentina jersey,” said Schwartzman at the time.
Schwartzman chases every opportunity to see Messi in action. For example, when he beat Monfils to qualify in the Vienna quarterfinals in 2021, he joked about not being able to catch Messi’s match in France. “For me it was an important match. The only bad part is I cannot see Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow [Friday] with Messi in France,” Schwartzman joked after the win, per We Are Tennis.
