The Story in Brief
Rodrigo De Paul scored Inter Miami's opener against Monterrey in the Leagues Cup and then pulled off his shirt to reveal Lionel Messi's No. 10 jersey underneath. The tribute was planned for his close friend, who was absent after his father Jorge Messi died at 68 in Rosario, Argentina, according to the Times of India. De Paul and Messi were teammates during Argentina's 2022 World Cup win. De Paul joined Inter Miami after his spell at Atletico Madrid, the outlet reports.
The Indian Opinion
The Times of India reports that Jorge Messi has died, but no other major outlet has confirmed this. Indian fans should treat the story with caution until an official statement from the Messi family or Inter Miami appears. The emotional tribute from De Paul is genuine, but the narrative that a close friend's death spurred it rests on unverified information. The test will be an independent confirmation of the death.
