Neither club América nor Chivas, the team that Messi respects in Mexico and has his shirt

Lionel Messi is considered by many to be the best soccer player of all time, so having the respect of the Argentine star must be something worth showing off and highlighting, as is the case with a Mexican club that has earned the admiration of the captain. of the Argentine National Team and that is even part of his great collection of shirts.

The Mexican team that can boast of being recognized by Messi is León, a club for which the soccer figure began to feel admiration and respect thanks to a player in particular, the Argentine striker Mauro Boselli, who marked an era with 'La Fiera' and who said by the Argentine world champion, he is a player with excellent qualities.

This story began in 2014, the year in which Barcelona and León faced a friendly match at the Camp Nou. In this game, Barca crushed the Mexican team 6-0, but what most attracted attention was the link between Messi and Boselli, who between laughs and smiles had a good chat and exchanged shirts. Today that Mauro shirt with the Leon looks in the gigantic collection of Lionel jerseys.

From there, on a couple of occasions and to express questions in some interviews, Lionel Messi makes his admiration for León clear and acknowledges knowing more than many would believe about the club in which his friend Mauro Boselli was a member, this being a distinction worthy of note from 'La Fiera'.

What other Mexican team does Messi admire?

León is not the only Mexican team that Lionel Messi recognizes and admires, as it is known that through his cousin Maximiliano Biancucchi and his friend Christian 'Chaco' Giménez, the Argentine soccer star has also closely followed Cruz Azul, this because those already mentioned played for the Mexican Team and from there Messi gave the team some follow-up.
