However, this time, the honor that Messi received from his teammate, must be called special. Nicolas Otamendi, a member of Argentina's World Cup-winning team, got a tattoo to honor Messi and commemorate the moment Messi touched the World Cup. Otamendi posted the video of the tattoo on his Twitter account, which also impressed Messi.

Otamendi was one of the mainstays of Argentina's defense in the World Cup. The 35-year-old defender has also saved the team several times at crucial times. Otamendi also contributed to the World Cup trophy that Messi received at the end of the final.

This time, he kept the memorable moment of the end of the final in his body. Otamendi tattooed the image of Messi touching the World Cup trophy on himself. He also wrote there, 'How will they convince me that magic does not exist?'

It didn't take long for the video of Otamendi's tattoo to go on Messi's Instagram wall. Messi did not delay to respond to this in his Instagram story. He wrote, 'After winning the World Cup trophy, I have seen all the wonderful things. But the sight of a teammate and friend like Nicolas Otamendi getting tattooed is more than just special. Thank you very much Ota.
