@Ziad_EJ tweeted:
"De Paul is 100% Messi’s bodyguard. There’s no other explanation."
@rumpelirving suggested De Paul's relationship with Messi is akin to that of Jesus Christ and Simon Peter in the Bible:
"Messi and De Paul dey give me Jesus then Simon Peter vibes."
@Tafieycity contemplated if De Paul is a secret service agent or a footballer:
"Argentina must tell us whether De Paul is a footballer or a secret service agent. The man doesn't want anything to happen to Football (Messi)."
@I_Am_Rephlex added:
"De Paul has only one job for Argentina. Protect Leo Messi at all cost."

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Atletico Madrid and Argentina midfielder Rodrigo De Paul once said that if Lionel Messi is your captain, you will go to war for him if he asked you to.
This was in the full glare as De Paul led Argentina players in protesting Messi's harsh treatment during an international friendly against Honduras.
Messi was captaining his side at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami when he went down after a challenge from the opponents.
