## Caption

Rio takes you behind the scenes of his final few hours in the USA with a trip to New York for the World Cup final before reflecting on his time in Los Angeles with Airbnb.

Along the way Rio meets some legends of the game including Lionel Messi himself - and addresses the accusation suggesting he doesn’t appreciate or like the Argentinian because of the long-standing relationship Rio has with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldinho, Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, Kevin Durrant and Novak Djokovic also say ‘hi’ as you follow Rio backstage at one of the biggest events of the Tournament in the build up to the final between Spain and Argentina.

Former team-mate Gerard Pique also sits down with Rio to discuss the standard of defending at the World Cup and how the demands on players in those positions has changed.

Plus Rio looks back on his favourite moments of the summer including a unexpected private swimming lesson laid on for Joel and Ste’s escapades as a Californian Cowboy.

Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad.
