Futbolero Attack highlighted a moment from the draw in which, as he wrote, the captain of Benin tried to speak in Spanish and gave three gifts to Lionel Messi: a rose, a handwritten letter from the entire team, and a statuette of a woman. The author stated that the latter was the most treasured and significant gift from his country, in honor of the Amazons of Dahomey, an army formed exclusively by women who, as he pointed out, defended their territory from French colonial expansion until the early 20th century. He added that they were a symbol of strength and resilience. #Messi #Benín #FortalezaFemenina (translated)
