Lionel Messi had barely finished helping Argentina advance when the attention shifted away from the match itself. While speaking to reporters in the mixed zone, the captain was interrupted by several Cape Verde players who had one final request before leaving the stadium.Among them was Borges, one of the defenders tasked with marking Messi throughout the game. Once the final whistle had blown, the rivalry disappeared. He walked over, asked for a photo and shared a warm embrace with the player he had spent the entire match trying to stop.
