Leo Messi is not the most controversial player, but he can also forget on the pitch. Such a situation occurred, for example, during the World Cup in Qatar, as the Argentinian told ESPN in an interview. When he scored a goal in the knockout match, he made a gesture that he immediately regretted. His behavior was caused by the way his opponent’s coach had previously commented on his game.
Leo Messi has had great successes, winning the coveted World Cup last year. At the same time, he is quite modest, although there are moments when he goes out of his way on the pitch. This was also the case during last year’s tournament in Qatar.

Leo Messi couldn’t stand it in the match against the Netherlands at the World Cup. “I immediately regretted it”
Recently, the Inter Miami player gave an interview to ESPN, in which he returned to his very successful championship. In it, he pointed out a situation in which he got carried away by emotions and then blamed himself for it. This happened after he scored to make it 2-0 in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands.
– I performed “Topo Gigio” (a celebration during which the player puts his hands to his ears – ed.) and immediately regretted it. As soon as I did it, I thought, ‘What an idiot. They can still equalize,'” he said. His gesture was aimed at rival coach Louis van Gaal, who had criticized Messi before the match. – Of course, he is their most dangerous and creative player. On the other hand, he does not participate much in the game when the opponent has the ball. This is our chance, said the Dutchman.
Ultimately, the Argentine had reasons to be satisfied, although his team got into a lot of trouble. In the last minutes, Wout Weghorst scored twice and led to a 2-2 draw. Therefore, extra time and even penalty kicks were needed. Only in them Argentina won 4:3.
Leo Messi on the clash with Robert Lewandowski. “His statements pissed me off”
In the same interview for ESPN, Messi also recalled the situation from the match between Argentina and Poland (2-0). Then he treated Robert Lewandowski in a rather inelegant way, but only recently he explained why he decided to do so. In his opinion, it was about the Pole’s disrespectful comments regarding the Ballon d’Or plebiscite in 2021. – Lewandowski’s comments pissed me off. When I won the Ballon d’Or, I really felt what I said about him. That’s why I ignored him during the match. I was angry, he shouldn’t have said that. That’s why I started rocking with him, he revealed.
