00:00Rumors in football can start over the smallest details.
00:04And this time, Lionel Messi chose to respond in the simplest way possible, with humor.
00:10It all centers around Argentine journalist Sofia Martinez, who found herself surrounded
00:16by speculation after an emotional interview with the Argentina captain during the 2022
00:22World Cup.
00:23Many people read too much into the way Messi looked at her.
00:27And baseless rumors even emerged claiming Antonola Rocuso was uncomfortable with the
00:33situation and that some Argentina players had stopped giving Martinez interviews.
00:39Sofia had already denied those claims, and admitted that her family suffered because of
00:44the constant speculation.
00:46But during a recent interview, Messi broke the ice before talking about football.
00:51Smiling, he greeted her and jokingly referenced all the rumors that have surrounded them.
00:57Martinez thanked him for the gesture and said they could finally get back to doing what
01:02they do best.
01:03Her asking the questions and him answering them.
01:06If I look at you, I look at you.
01:07If I look at you, I look at you.
01:08If I look at you, I look at you.
01:08If I look at you.
01:09If I look at you, I look at you.
01:09If I look at you.
01:10If I look at you.
01:11So thank you very much.
01:12That's why I value it.
01:13Because in the end, the only relationship between them has always been a professional one.
01:20It's also a reminder of how many female journalists are still judged simply for doing their jobs.
01:27Any meal.
