It seems like the entire world has been in a frenzy since Lionel Messi won the World Cup with Argentina a few months ago.
An example of that would be when there were reports of Argentina putting Messi’s face on their 1000-pesos banknotes. This did not go well with some soccer fans as many claimed it was getting out of hand and the celebrations were going too far.
Argentina fans have been praising the 35-year-old since the final and it looks like it reached a new level recently. Recently, fans caught a glimpse of Messi’s dog. One of the player’s friends was seen taking the dog out for a walk when fans managed to pet him. What was surprising was that the fans even came up with a chant for the PSG forward’s dog. The lyrics were, “It’s Messi’s dog” as fans sang it repeatedly as the dog walked towards them.
What’s the name of Lionel Messi’s dog?
Messi has been seen many times with his dog, and he has posted images with his companion as well. The player has given the name “Hulk” to his dog, which only makes sense considering the size of the dog.

It looks like Cristiano Ronaldo has made his way into the conversation as well. Fans mentioned the 5x Ballon d’Or winner’s name when they responded to the song for Messi’s dog under ESPN’s Instagram post. One fan even wrote, “Messi’s dog has touched a World Cup but a certain someone hasn’t”. We could take this as a dig at Ronaldo, who had a disappointing World Cup campaign this year.
It looks like Ronaldo is under fire after Messi lifted the golden trophy. The former had his heart broken when Portugal crashed out of the World Cup after losing to Morocco 1-0 in the quarterfinals. Together with that, Ronaldo has been getting rag-dolled online regarding the rumors of his transfer to Al-Nassr. While he looks for a club, Messi will be enjoying his time off after completing the last piece of the puzzle.
