The world of soccer is very moved since in the last hours Diego Armando Maradona has been hospitalized. One of the greatest idol in the history of Argentinian soccer is getting throw an intervention on his head. Among the multiple messages of support that Diego Armando Maradona received, one attracted more attention than the others.

Lionel Messi used his Instagram account to send a message to Maradona, who is going through some difficult hours due to his health condition. "Diego, toda la fuerza del mundo. Mi familia y yo te queremos ver bien lo antes posible. ¡Un abrazo de corazón!", wrote the FC Barcelona offensive player, which can be translated to: "Diego, all the strength of the world. My family and I want to see you healthy as soon as possible. A hug from the heart!".

This message of support from Lionel Messi to Maradona is more than surprising since on October 30, the former Napoli player turned 60 and the Barcelona player didn't send him any greetings on social media. Despite the fact that Maradona had supported him during his fight with former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu. In addition, Maradona had ensured that Messi hadn't been treated as he deserved in Barcelona.

Diego Armando Maradona was Lionel Messi's coach in the Argentinian national team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where they were eliminated against Germany in the quarterfinals. In addition, they are almost relatives since Maradona's grandson, Benjamin Agüero -the son of Argentinian player Sergio Agüero and one of Maradona's daughter-  is Lionel Messi's godson.
