The musician uploaded a story to his Instagram account with a photo of the captain of the Argentine National Team promoting his new material with Sting.
Charlie Garcia turned on social media again. And this time he did not do it alone, nor was he accompanied by Stinghis new musical ally, but it was with Lionel Messi. The image, obviously, did not go unnoticed and generated a strong impact on the networks.
The last time the soccer star played at the Monumental, during the playoffs, he received a visit from the musician who not only gave him the vinyl of his latest album, The Logic of the Scorpion, but now it is also known that he left a sticker with a particular phrase in Englishto promote their new song.

“In the city”, the new song by Charly García and Sting
Charly and Sting remade “In The City That Never Sleeps”—a song that García had included in Kill Gil (2010)—to transform it into “In the City”a piece that unites features of Buenos Aires urban rock and the cosmopolitan sensibility of New York. The current version incorporates arrangements reminiscent of jazz and melodic pop, and featured the participation of musicians who worked with both artists.
The official video, directed by Belén Asad, alternates shots of Charly at the piano in closed spaces with scenes of Sting traveling along emblematic avenues in a yellow taxi; There are also maps of the subway and Buenos Aires streets that reinforce the idea of a dialogue between cities. Among the technical names, Dominic Miller appears on guitars and Ted Jensen on mastering—details that speak of the professional level of the production. A luxury comboto put it bluntly.
On an artistic level, the song is perceived as a gesture of encounter: it reuses already known motifs from García’s discography but subjects them to the voice and presence of Sting, generating new textures. Not all listeners will react the same: there will be those who celebrate it for the mixture of universes and those who prefer the original versions; Both reactions are valid and show the complexity of intervening in pieces with historical significance.
The photo of Messi with a wink to Charly García
The image that Charly released shows Messi smiling and holding the vinyl of La Lógica del Escorpión and in the other hand the sticker that says: “I’m doing it my way“(I’m doing it my way), one of the phrases that is part of the lyrics of “In the city.” You can even see Sting’s name written at the end.
This shows that Messi was aware of the new music that Charly was going to release with the English singer, long before its announcement and premiere.
