Father of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes did not appreciate Lionel Messi’s behaviour during Brazil’s defeat to Argentina on Tuesday, with his son getting involved in some verbal sparring with the great number 10. He took to social media to express that.
During the first-half of a spiky game, mired by scenes of Rio state police beating Argentina fans with batons, there was a coming together between Messi and Rodrygo. The Brazilian appears to accuse Argentina of being ‘cowards’, only to be met by a response from Messi – ‘How are we cowards? We’re champions of the world.’
In the aftermath, Marca spotted that Rodrygo’s father, Eric Goes, had posted a picture on his Instagram with the caption ‘The little saint who never causes any trouble with anyone’.
This was posted rather ironically next to a picture of Messi berating Rodrygo, and grabbing Uruguay defender Mathias Olivera by the neck just days earlier.
The Real Madrid released a statement on social media expressing his frustration at the racial abuse that he has suffered in the aftermath of the incident. All too often it becomes the case that whatever happens, fans of both sides will resort to the lowest forms of abuse following any flashpoint.

Right response was given to your son. Imagine your son calling them cowards for showing solidarity with their fans. How did Rodrigo expect that the game should be played in the face of obvious violence? Football is not as important as people's safety. You are pained because you lost the match and your fans booed you off the pitch; then you're trying to divert the attention by playing victim? Get it straight. No football must go on in violence or any other u acceptable condition. That is simple.

It’s a shame that a man who was crying for youth to respect elders was even the one disrespectful to the you because The rigged world cup and balon d'or is giving him so much confidence and license by UEFA and FIFA to do whatsoever he likes without being touched on the field.🤡🤡 Solidarity with RODRYGO💪🇧🇷💎🤍

Mr @JoyNg01 - Are you even a human being. Do you know what this kid did?? As the police were beating up Argentine crowd, Messi and the squad didn't come out to play until the chaos stopped. Messi stood up for the Argentine supports, his people, and led the team while this spoiled Rodrigo kid called him coward. And you Mr @JoyNg01 chose to side him. How pathetic are you?? How narrow-minded?? Your hatered towards Messi will never do you, good kid. Pray for yourself and ask god to guide you. That's your only resort.

there's no respecting elders in football it's not a family meeting
That’s why your team is sinking Upcoming players don’t respect senior players to learn from them

he won everything on club level while he is 21 years old rn, and imagine angering the whole fanbase 🤣🤣🤣 cowards
my foot he's not even the level of Haaland or Mbappe or even vinciuis..just because he scored crucial goals doesn't make him great 😂 he should first learn some respect and be humble and respect his opponents..to be honest he should hav supported argentina fans who were getting hit by Brazilian police
