This Tuesday, December 20 had to be decreed a holiday to welcome the football world champions, and in particular Lionel Messi, awaited by thousands of supporters on the largest avenue in the world in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A consecration for an entire economically weakened country.

For Sylvère-Henri Cissé, journalist and consultant in international sport, guest of France 24, "the team is bringing joy, and happiness, and making Argentines feel not downgraded, but people who in the eyes of the world, today, are on top of the world".
