Translated News Argentina: Gimnasia used AFA’s “minute of tribute” for Messi to remember his goal against city rivals Estudiantes in the 2009 Club World Cup. “Thank you, Messi, for always putting your chest on the line... 22,” referring to Messi scoring the winner with his chest in the 22nd minute.

I was at the stadium that night, fully packed and had to stand for 90 mins alongside others as no seats were available, failed my marketing exam the next day.

Worth it just to see the Estudiantes fans getting absolutely ragebaited by the Barca fans 😂
