New details from the Lionel Messi – Wout Weghorst scandal

Mundo Deportivo presents new details about the tense moment at the end of the match, citing a journalist from a Swedish television station who witnessed the event.

“I was only a few meters away and I saw everything. There was a lot of tension. There is a state of irritation. Messi entered the tunnel, while Weghorst remained to wait for the anti-doping control. Then the discussion began.

It wasn’t a fight, but the tension was palpable. Van Dijk stepped in to calm them down.

It was unexpected to see Messi like this. There is no doubt. Especially against an opponent who is 2 meters. There is a big height difference between them,” said the Swedish journalist.

Weghorst recounted the scandal with Messi and the Argentina players.

“I wanted to shake his hand after the game. I respect him a lot, as a footballer. But he bumped into my hand and wouldn’t talk to me.My Spanish is not that good, but I heard disrespectful words. I’m very disappointed,” said the 30-year-old striker from Beşiktaş.

Messi’s explanation: “He offended us the whole match”

After insulting him live on TV, Leo Messi explained why he had this reaction.

Since he came in, he challenged us, hit us, said certain things to us. I don’t think that’s part of football. I always respect everyone and want to be respected. Neither does their coach (no – Louis Van Gaal) he didn’t respect us”, said the PSG star.
