Lionel Messi is a legend, and this is how legends get treated.

Ever since Argentina took out Croatia in a flashy 3-0 victory Dec. 13 to punch their tickets into the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final, it’s been an absolute party in the South American nation.

Recently, hundreds of fans in Rosario, Argentina showed up to Lionel Messi’s grandmother’s house, and they celebrated her and her grandson by singing and chanting “the grandma of Messi,” according to video shared by Fox Soccer.

Messi’s grandmother, whose name is Celia Olivera Cuccittini, died in 1998. Messi’s goal celebrations, when he points his fingers up to the heavens, is inspired by her — it’s Messi’s way of dedicating his goals.

When I first saw the video, I originally thought the fans were singing to Messi’s grandmother, but when I did some research into this story, I found out that she actually died when he was only 10 years old. So, not trying to make fun of this situation or anything, but who in the hell was the woman standing in the window?

I personally haven’t been able to find anything, but I am quite curious. She seemed to enjoy it, so that’s cool. But just imagine if that happened to a random person, they had no idea they lived in Messi’s grandmother’s house, and then a mob shows up and just starts singing. Talk about confusion, and hilariousness if that did happen. (RELATED: REPORT: Famous Croatian Superfan Ivana Knoll Claims Several World Cup Stars Sent Her Marriage Proposals, Sexy Messages)

I love how the Argentinians showed love to Messi’s grandmother though, which symbolically is showing respect to the bloodline of the greatest of all time. This was definitely a cool moment.

I was already on Argentina’s side before seeing this, but this has me even further with them now. Everything surrounding this World Cup team is just too glorious right now, everything is lining up for them perfectly. And history is screaming it: Argentina hasn’t won a World Cup since 1986, and Messi has never won one, period, in a career where he’s literally achieved everything but a World Cup title. This needs to happen for Argentina and Messi, where for France, it’s a want after already winning the last tournament.

We all should be rooting for Argentina, destiny is calling.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
