Lionel Messi responds to Andy Murray’s inquiry on Stoke City, eliciting laughter from David Beckham.

Few would have predicted that Sir Andy Murray would be the one to ask Lionel Messi the age-old question of whether he could pull it off on a chilly Tuesday night at Stoke City, and that he would receive the cheeky answer. Both Novak Djokovic and Jakub Mensik said following wins that they had been motivated by Messi’s presence, while Murray met the Argentina star while watching the Miami Open semi-finals yesterday.

“I asked him if he could do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke,” he said on Instagram after Murray, who retired last summer, grabbed him for a changing room shot. “Cállate la boca,” which I believe translates to “yes” in Spanish, was his response. One of the first people to respond was David Beckham, who added a laughing emoji and said, “I’m more than happy to translate that.” “Cállate la boca” means “shut your mouth,” and Djokovic responded with three laughing emojis. Stokes hero Asmir Begovic then commented, “Of course he could.” “Dos belters,” as comedian Kevin Bridges recently stated, may require translation into Spanish and Glaswegian.
