A couple of nights ago, at dinner with my boyfriend, J. P., and some AIR MAIL colleagues, we decided to play a rather dangerous game: Who would be our hall pass in our relationship? Immediately, J. P. blurted out “Lionel Messi.” I wasn’t surprised. This is a man who has proudly tattooed an A for Argentina on his finger and three stars from the flag on his leg. He got those tattoos to commemorate Messi’s leading the Argentinean team to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Anyone can relive the entire experience by watching Apple TV+’s latest docuseries, Messi’s World Cup. The four-part production includes rare interviews with Messi and his teammates. And while we already know how the story ends, there is much to be learned about what exactly was racing through the soccer star’s head during the most important matches of his life. —Carolina de Armas
