"I am thrilled to bring the flavors of my home country to the world with the launch of my own chicken sandwich, inspired by one of my favorite dishes, the milanesa. There has been no better partner than Hard Rock International to bring this to life. Like any great teammate, Hard Rock has been with me through historic milestones, and I can't wait for my fans around the world to taste one of my favorite childhood dishes that still makes me feel at home, wherever in the world I am," Messi said in a statement released by the famous restaurant chain.
Hard Rock International president Jim Allen said:
Leo Messi is not just one of the greatest athletes and cultural icons on the planet, he's also an ambassador who aligns very closely with our values as an organization," said Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International.
