“Carlitos Tevez hammered so hard that Lionel Messi finally gave in to the Oasis gang”although today it may seem somewhat strange, that phrase resonated loudly in several news portals back in mid-2010. Hours before the imminent announcement of the Gallagher brothers’ band about the possible return is official, it is worth remembering this story.
The news that Lionel Messi I was willing to gather Oasiswas one of the most talked about fake news in the world of music and sports, but how did this happen?
Messi, Oasis fan
It all has its origin in the British newspaper The Sunfor months the tabloid occupied its pages with stories and textual assumptions of Lionel Messi talking about how he discovered and He became a fan of the band from Manchester.
“Since he plays in Manchester, Carlitos told me how great they areI always promised to listen to them, but I never got around to it. On the plane to the World Cup, I listened to the first two albums. I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s the best. I’d say ‘Supersonic’ and ‘Live forever’ are my favorites. I carry them on my iPod in the hotel and play it on the way to the games, I can’t believe it took me so long to discover them“, Lío said according to the aforementioned media (and many other portals that replicated the note).
Maybe in 2010 we were a little more naive and wanted to believe. The band had recently split up, Messi was already a world star, if there was anyone who could bring them together it was him.
“I showed it to the rest of the guys on the team and I swear they all loved it. Some already knew them, but others didn’t. And we agreed that if we win the Cup we want to take them to Argentina for our celebration. We just need them to name the price,” was another of the quotes. In case there was any doubt, Messi He will speak so openly about how “they just need to know the price” that it would make anyone suspicious about the veracity of his statements.
The truth about Messi’s fanaticism for Oasis
Although this fantastic story sounds ridiculous today, someone did what had to be done: get to the bottom of the matter. Clemente Cancela, at that time a reporter for CQC, spoke directly with Lionel Messi“We heard a rumour that you’re listening to Oasis,” was the question. “It’s true, I don’t know where that came from,” said Messi.The note concluded with Clemente giving him some of the band’s records and Lionel saying goodbye with the promise of listening to them.
Fourteen years after this curious story, it seems that Oasis will finally be back.
One of Messi’s textual assumptions said that if the Argentine National Team won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they would bring Liam and Noel’s gang to the celebrations. Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, perhaps now (even if it is a few years later) that celebration can take place.
