Lionel Messi has left fans in awe after a video of him speaking English surfaced online.
However, the video is understood to have been generated by artificial intelligence after Messi's recent press briefing while on international duty.
The star forward was part of the Argentina squad that faced Ecuador in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
Messi was the man of the moment as he fired home a stunning free kick to earn the reigning world champions a vital 1-0 win.
Speaking after the match, the Inter Miami ace explained the need for the team to keep improving as they eye for a spot in the World Cup.
"Everyone always wants to beat Argentina and even more so now that we are the world champions. We can't relax, we have to improve on what we've been doing," he said.
"The objective is to qualify for the World Cup again. We really enjoyed what we did but we have to look ahead," he added.
However, it has been revealed those quotes have been generated by AI and translated into English, given that Messi conducted the post-match presser in Spanish.
Be that as it may, the AI-generated video of Messi speaking in English has widely been shared on social media, leaving fans in awe.
Sportbible reports that the Argentine veteran is unable to speak fluently in English despite previously taking lessons in the subject.
