Like people from Chile value RPS poorly in terms of correctness. People from Spanish-speaking Latin American countries do debate on which dialect is the 'most correct' version of Spanish. I do speak Australian English (that's my native tongue), but interested in RPS because it gives us a sense of warmth and home even when we're not from Argentina or speak their native tongue. Argentina (the national football team) are the most recent World Cup winners (2022) and while their playing style dominates on the field (especially with Messi, Dybala, Angel Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez and others), their Spanish accents are their secret weapons off the field, as shown in interviews, especially with Argentine media. There are regional variants of Argentine Spanish, RPS included.
On Messi's Spanish, his way of speaking was influenced by his time at FC Barcelona until 2021, speaking more in European Spanish or Catalan in interviews than RPS. EuS appeals more to worldwide audiences (i.e. Adidas campaigns or formal interviews) than RPS, so watching videos of him informally speaking in his native dialect at full display are somewhat rare. However, RPS has this kind of soothing magic that carries it. It has Italian roots to the dialect mainly due to the immigration of Italians to Argentina in the 19th century. Even at Inter Miami, his current club, he still preserves the Rosario accent of RPS, maintaining his relationship with his hometown that he grew up in, but the influence of EuS still lingers.
EuS has its own nuances and appeal to the worldwide audience, but RPS, especially when spoken by Rosarian natives, has its own unique cadences that are equally as soothing a few other languages that have a singsong quality to it.
