On November 15, in an international football friendly match, Argentina was a guest to challenge Angola. The venue was packed with more than 50,000 people filling the stadium. Messi passed the ball and made great achievements, which detonated the whole audience. After the game, the Angolan president had a close contact with the football king.

The initiator of this friendly match is the Angolan government. In order to celebrate Latvia's independence from Portuguese colonial rule, Angola decided to spend 32 million U.S. dollars (approximately RMB 220 million) to invite Argentina to play a friendly match, including the Argentine team's appearance fee of 12 million U.S. dollars, stadium renovation fees of 13.6 million U.S. dollars, etc.

Yesterday, Messi arrived in Angola with the Argentina team. The roads were crowded with people, and the government specially arranged police cars to clear the way for the Argentina team bus. According to local media, tickets for this game were sold for only US$1, and 48,000 tickets were sold out within 2 hours.

At today's game, more than 50,000 people actually came to watch the game. Messi shined throughout the game. He assisted Lautaro to score in the 43rd minute and scored with a volley in the 81st minute. In the 86th minute, Messi, who had 1 pass and 1 shot, was substituted. When he left the field, the fans in the stands collectively made gestures of worship to Messi, and some held up photos of Messi.

The Angolan president specially brought his entire family to the scene to witness Messi's performance. After the game, he took his family into the stadium and interacted with Messi. Messi presented an Argentina jersey to the president, who in return gave an Angola jersey.

At the same time, the president also presented Messi with a special gift - a trophy to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Angola's independence.
