Watch Messi's beautiful message to his children after bagging FIFA The Best award is winning over fans

Lionel Messi ended his speech after winning FIFA’s ‘The Best Men’s Player of the Year’ award in wonderful fashion.

He said: “Finally, I want to thank my family and the people of Argentina for having lived such a beautiful moment that will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.

“A big kiss to my sons, Thiago, Mateo and Ciro, who are watching and I love them. Go to sleep now.”

Messi couldn’t bring either of his sons to the ceremony because it was too late and they had to go to bed. That is why he ended his speech with those words, knowing they might be watching on TV.

The Argentine forward’s wonderful gesture for his children has won over the hearts of fans all over, as they reacted on Twitter.

Jonny: “I respect this guy so much I went to bed and slept after he said this.”

Fussbalita: “Oh, how not to adore him more and more.”

Messi1010: “Haters go to sleep now.”

Waterishissky: “Is Messi a modern-day prophet who shows how to live gracefully with family?”
