On June 24, Santiago Lopez Menendez was kidnapped and his story has been all over Argentine newspapers over the past couple of days after he revealed that Messi was the reason his captors went easy on him, according to a report on 101 Great Goals.
“The Nigerian kidnappers thought he was American, which he believes was the reason that they were particularly violent towards him,” according to the report.
“Unable to communicate with his kidnappers who spoke no English, Menendez resorted to simply shouting “Messi! Messi! Messi!” until they understood that he was Argentine.
“The scientist said his treatment improved massively from that point on… Because who doesn’t appreciate the genius of Leo Messi?
“Tell them to thank Messi, his name is what saved my brother’s life“, said Santiago’s brother Jorge to Clarin.
After a ransom was paid, Menendez was released three days later.
