The interviewer who cried when he met Leo Messi (from Twitter)
The admiration for Leo Messi crosses borders and was also felt when he visited Israel, but in his native Argentina, it seems, it breaks records.
Photographic proof of this came at the end of the week, with the publication of the television interview given by the Paris Saint-Germain star to the state channel in Argentina.
A short part of the long and intimate interview, which lasted over an hour, went viral after the interviewer was seen choking with tears, and having difficulty speaking to Alilo in the middle of the broadcast.
"The only thing I wish for you is happiness. You deserve it. I'm a huge fan of yours," the interviewer, Pablo Girallet, is seen telling the embarrassed Messi just before his throat chokes.
Exceptional documentation.

After a few seconds of silence, Messi is seen asking the crew instead to stop filming, smiling awkwardly when they don't respond to his requests and continue to record the extraordinary television moment.
In the end, the interviewer managed to pull himself together and continue the interview, thanks in no small part to Messi putting his hand on him affectionately, and telling him "thank you very much".
"I'm just a boy from a small town in Argentina. All my life I dreamed of this moment when I would get to interview you," the journalist Giralt tells him.
"I love you and follow every step of your career. Thank you for agreeing to come here. I could not imagine that this dream would come true, and that our paths would cross."
At the first moment, Messi seemed a little surprised, as mentioned, but in the end he also did not remain indifferent to the outpouring of the interviewer.
"Thank you very much. I am happy that I will be able to touch people so deeply, especially in Argentina who always supported me and gave me my back. I get a lot of love, and that is not obvious."
These two minutes from the interview, spread on the network like wildfire, and Giralt became the star of the moment.
"My profession took me on an incredible journey, and yesterday I fulfilled a dream - to interview the athlete I admire," the interviewer wrote in conclusion, "I feel blessed."
In the end, the interview went well.
