Franco Mastantuono wears Messi's #10

Franco MASTANTUONO got handed Lionel MESSI's #10 jersey on the 10th, but he only wore it once for Argentina during that match against Ecuador. The reason? Every other teammate refused to take the spot out of respect for Lionel MESSI, who wasn't playing in that game. Since CONMEBOL regulations strictly forbid retiring numbers or leaving them vacant, someone had to step up. That person was Mastantuono, who chose to wear the number 10 despite its massive significance to the three-time world champions. As Olé reported, this is widely considered the heaviest number in Argentine football history. #FrancoMastantuono #LionelMessi
