Lionel Messi was enraged by a ‘comment about his wife’ made by a teammate

Lionel Messi was said to be enraged after one of Argentina’s players made a remark about his wife Antonela Roccuzzo during the World Cup.

After a string of international setbacks, Messi finally ended his wait for a World Cup, completing football as Argentina went all the way in Qatar.

Argentina won the award for the first time since 1986, thanks to Messi’s seven goals, including two in the final against France.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has stated that it was the most memorable moment of his illustrious career, however there was an unpleasant incident during the competition.

A panelist on Tartu TV’s ‘A La Tarde’ show claimed that after one of Argentina’s games, as the team was celebrating, Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez made a remark about Messi’s second wife, which irritated him.

“This man is a daring man,” a panelist said, according to MARCA.

“Locker room, I’m not sure which match it was, if it was against the Netherlands.”

“Everyone is happy because they passed, and everyone starts singing in the locker room.” “What does Alejandro El Papu have to say?” ‘Hand over Antonela!’ exclaimed the panelist. “Imagine Messi’s laser eyes … Immediate red card!”

Gomez appeared twice in the tournament, against Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

His last appearance for his country was almost a year ago, and he failed an anti-doping test in October, according to new club Monza.

According to reports, the former Atalanta man tested positive for terbutaline and faces a two-year ban.

In response, Gomez explained his side of the story, claiming that he had mistakenly taken his son’s cough medicine and instructing his lawyers to investigate the situation.

“I have always rigorously followed all of the rules, but I have also stood up as a strong defender of clean sport and sportsmanship, categorically condemning any form of doping.” “I never intended to, and will never, engage in a prohibited practice,” Gomez stated on Instagram.

“The alleged offense stems from the presence of Terbutaline in my system, which I ingested by accident in a spoonful of my little son’s cough syrup.” I have ordered my lawyers to look into the matter since I believe the disciplinary case was not handled properly.”
