Robbie Williams Declares Fandom for Lionel Messi During Concert, Message Goes Viral

British pop star Robbie Williams showed his support for football icon Lionel Messi during a recent concert in Belgium, sending a message that quickly went viral.

While performing his hit song "Angels" at the Live is Live festival in Antwerp on June 27, Williams was handed an Argentine jersey from the audience. In a surprising move, he held up the jersey and shouted "Go on, Messi" into the microphone, much to the delight of the crowd.

The moment was captured on video and shared widely on social media, particularly by Argentine fans. The gesture resonated deeply with fans, especially as it occurred on the same day Messi scored his sixth goal of the 2026 World Cup, his first at the age of 39.

Messi, captain of the Argentine national team, entered the match against Jordan in the second half, securing a 3-0 victory that positioned Argentina at the top of Group J. The team now awaits their Round of 16 match against Cape Verde on July 3.

Argentine fans are now looking forward to Williams' upcoming tour dates in Buenos Aires in October, where they hope to reciprocate his support.
