US President, Barack Obama, is on an official visit to Argentina. There, he mentioned Leo Messi during a speech to young entrepreneurs.”My daughters have already met Pope Francis and now they’d like to meet Messi, but I haven’t been able to arrange it yet”, he said.
He also commented on another prominent Argentine sports star, San Antonio Spurs player Manu Ginobili, whom he has met at several White House receptions. “I can confirm that Ginobili is not only a great person but also one of the best players in the world and one that Argentines should be proud of. He’s a true champion”, said Obama in a statement picked up by ‘Olé’ newspaper.
