Pablo Giralt, one of the most recognizable commentators in Argentine football, addressed the death of Jorge Messi, Lionel's father, and spoke about the close relationship he had with the Messi family.
Giralt revealed that although he was aware of Jorge's condition, he chose not to publish the information because he preferred the personal connection between them over the possibility of getting a "scoop".
"Messi's post influenced me. I had a very beautiful relationship with Jorge. I preferred my connection with him over the scoop or the information. I love him, I love the Messi family. Between Jorge and me, there was an understanding of silence," said Giralt.
Giralt stated that the connection with Jorge Messi caused him to set a clear boundary between his work and his personal relationships: "I preferred my connection with him over the scoop or the information."
These words take on special meaning because Giralt is not only a well-known journalist and commentator in Argentina, but also a voice that has become identified with some of the greatest moments of the Argentine national team in recent years. He gained worldwide fame especially thanks to his viral broadcast of Lautaro Martinez's goal against England.
