Messi reunites with Maxi Rodríguez in Rosario before Miami return | OneFootball

In the midst of his days off in Rosario, Lionel Messi once again gifted fans with an image full of memories. The Inter Miami captain met up with Maxi Rodríguez, his old teammate from the Argentine National Team, in a gathering that quickly caught the attention of fans and spread across social media.

The conversation and reunion took place at the sports complex owned by La Fiera, located across from the Kentucky country club—the same complex where the Argentine captain stays every time he returns to his hometown. There, far from official cameras and formal commitments, they shared a relaxed moment, surrounded by football and, surely, mate and anecdotes from a time when they were teammates on the Albiceleste.

The snapshot came in the final stretch of number 10’s stay in the city of Santa Fe, before heading back to the United States to resume activity with the Herons. For Maxi, meanwhile, it was a special pause before his trip to Uruguay, where he will take part in a legends match in Punta del Este to be played on January 9 at 7 p.m. at Playa Mansa, with free admission, according to the Uruguayan Football Association.

The event will bring together legendary former footballers from both countries. On the Argentine side, among others, will be Ariel Ortega, Maxi Rodríguez, Sergio Goycochea, Juan Pablo Sorín, and Ezequiel Lavezzi, while Uruguay will feature stars such as Diego Godín, Diego Forlán, among others. A special occasion that, once again, will connect the past and present of Río de la Plata football.
