Nobody wears the number 10 on the Argentine jersey as dignified and with Schalk on the neck like … Freddie Mercury.
After the victory of the Argentinians in the World Cup final in Qatar against France in 2022, the Queen fan club of Argentina posted several evidence that the singer of Queen had an intimate relationship with Maradona and the team of the South American state. In 1986 the national team of Argentina became world champion after a 3-2 victory against Germany.
In the studio and also in other places, Mercury wore the Argentina jersey with number 10. Of course, that belonged to the legendary Maradona. Who had also led his team to the World Cup. As is generally known, Lionel Messi has been wearing for many years.
The ball artist sat on Sunday 2022 (December 18) with the penalty victory against France, in which he met several times in the game and was then honored as the best player of the tournament, himself a monument. The 35-year-old had previously cleared all the trophies of world football. But he had not yet become world champion with Argentina (despite the final game against the DFB team in Brazil 2014).
So now there are several legends together at least in thought in one picture when we see Freddie Mercury in the Argentina jersey. Maybe we will find out at some point whether Messi also likes to hear Queen. At least yes “we are the champions”.
