During Lionel Messi's visit to Spain to receive the 2026 Princess of Asturias Award for Sports, a pizzeria owner in Spain revealed an unknown treasure from the player's career, stating that it is kept safely stored away. The revelation drew public attention as dozens of people mobilized to the vicinity of Oviedo to catch a glimpse of the football star.

The event coincided with other regional developments, including preparations for the final stretch of the 2026 Torneo Clausura in Peru, the conclusion of the oral trial regarding the death of Diego Armando Maradona with a sentencing date set for December 22, and the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirming a visit by Pope Leo XIV in November 2026.
