"Lionel Messi got a standing ovation as he took to the stage at a Buenos Aires theatre on Tuesday evening. The Inter Miami captain, who is on international duty with Argentina, was unable to keep a low profile as he and his family watched the show 'Rocky' starring Messi's long-time friend Nicolas Vazquez. After the production, based on the 1976 film Rocky, the 2022 World Cup winner was invited up on stage to take a bow with the cast,"
""I promised you [Vazquez] that I was going to come. Luckily, I was able to do so with my whole family. It's not often that my whole family is here in Buenos Aires as they are always in Rosario. It's a great night, and being with you means everything to me. That's the most important thing. You did very well. It was a pleasure to be here and enjoy this evening with all of you. Thank you very much.""
