00:00You've got somebody that is very normal.
00:03Then he walks across that wide line
00:05and what you've got is somebody that is determined to win.
00:13When the national side realised that they could have missed on him,
00:17they organised a friendly with Paraguay, the under-22s.
00:21At that time, if you played a game with the Argentina shirt,
00:25that was it, you would become just an Argentina international.
00:27He was part of the Olympic Games team in 2008
00:32and won it, won the golden medal.
00:37He went to the World Cup final in 2014
00:40and lost on two Copa America finals against Chile.
00:45It was too much for Leo and he thought,
00:48this is not going to happen, I'm leaving the national side.
00:51When he came back, he became a stronger leader.
00:54He became one that perhaps Argentinians identified more with.
00:59It took a while, but little by little,
01:02seeing the effort that he was making, Leo,
01:05and eventually succeed in the Copa America.
01:08From then on, people started seeing him with different eyes.
01:14He was not going to lose that one.
01:17There was a sense of relief as well as happiness when he went on his knees
01:22and shouted in the direction of his family,
01:24we've done it, that's it, it's done now.
01:29The superhéroe of 39 years old,
01:32who has taken his team to the final,
01:35he has realized, as he has done it in the last few years,
01:39that he has a limit.
01:40And that limit has imposed Spain.
01:45He never wanted to be Diego.
01:46He wanted to be a very good player for Argentina
01:49and wanted to be understood and loved by the Argentinians.
01:52If you want to choose a player
01:54that has done things that are extraordinary,
01:57that we've never seen before,
01:59you have to think of Messi.
02:00Wait for it!
02:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
