Recalling a conversation he had with Lionel Messi in 2015, Messi's former agent Fabian Soldini said, "Messi told me, 'I've been waking up at night thinking about 2014 World Cup final...for a year. I can't sleep'." "It goes round and round in his head," added Soldini. "His great love is Argentina...It is neither Barcelona nor Newell's Old Boys," he stated.
