Ángel de Brito revealed a private conversation with Lionel Messi

Ángel de Brito surprised everyone by sharing a private conversation he had with Lionel Messi and revealed what the captain of the Argentine National Team said when he tried to get an interview with Antonela Roccuzzo.

The confession took place during an episode of Ángel Responde, the show he hosts on Bondi Live, ahead of Argentina's debut in the 2026 World Cup. The journalist shared unprecedented details of the exchange he had with the Rosario star.

"He wrote to me": Ángel de Brito's revelation about Messi

While discussing the current state of the Argentine National Team, Ángel de Brito surprised everyone on air by acknowledging that he had been in contact with Lionel Messi during his recent trip to Miami.

“We love Leo Messi. I was talking to him now that I was in Miami, but I didn't want to bother him,” the host expressed.

The statement elicited an immediate reaction from Mariana Brey, who did not hide her surprise. “Did you WhatsApp with Messi? I'm going crazy,” the panelist commented.

It was then that De Brito revealed a detail that caught everyone's attention: “Just a few messages, nothing more. Actually, I didn't write to him, he wrote to me.”

The confession prompted another reaction from Brey, who highlighted the privilege of receiving a message from the best football player in the world. Without hesitation, Ángel responded with laughter: “Yes, I know.”

Messi's response when asked for an interview with Antonela Roccuzzo

During that conversation, the host took the opportunity to make a request that many journalists have been trying for years: an interview with Antonela Roccuzzo.

However, Messi's response was blunt. According to De Brito, the footballer explained that his wife prefers to stay away from the media and preserve her private life.

“No, she doesn't want to know anything. She doesn't want to talk, she gets calls from everywhere,” the Argentine captain reportedly said.

Far from giving up, Ángel insisted humorously. “I told him: ‘Tell her to give me an interview’. We want to hear from her. We don't know anything about what that woman thinks,” he recounted.

Messi had already confessed that he watches LAM

The relationship between Lionel Messi and Ángel de Brito had already made headlines months ago. In January, during an interview with Luzu TV, the footballer acknowledged that he often follows entertainment programs and watches LAM, the show hosted by the journalist on América TV.

When asked by Nico Occhiato about his television habits, Messi surprised with an unexpected response. “Yes, I like it. I'm a bit like my mom. It amuses me,” he admitted.

Additionally, he explained that he usually follows that type of content to stay informed and mentioned that he inherited that habit from his mother, Celia. “It's just me, to stay up to date and to inform myself a bit,” he noted.

After hearing those statements, Ángel de Brito reacted enthusiastically and celebrated that the world champion closely follows his program. “A genius. He watches us, he not only knows us,” he expressed at that moment.
