Scandal involving Messi
During the Argentina-Uruguay match, a controversial episode occurred involving the captain of the current world champions, Lionel Messi.
In the 19th minute of the meeting, a clash occurred between the players of the teams, in which Messi joined in a harsh manner. He first elbowed Uruguayan Matias Oliveira and later grabbed him by the throat.
For such actions, the chief referee of the match did not even punish Lionel with a yellow card.
The last time Argentina lost was in November 2022 in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Then Lionel Scaloni's team sensationally lost to the Saudi Arabian team with a score of 1:2. After that match, the Albiceleste did not suffer a single defeat in the tournament and defeated France in a penalty shootout in the final.
