Argentina could only draw 1-1 with Paraguay in World Cup qualification on Wednesday morning, yet Lionel Messi was furious with the way in which the Brazilian referee Raphael Claus oversaw the game.
The Barcelona captain had a goal disallowed that would have given the Albiceleste a 2-1 lead in the second half, with it being disallowed for a foul that happened 30 seconds before in the build-up.
The kicks flew back and forth in the match and, with things getting heated, Messi's frustration at having what he believed to be a legitimate goal ruled out caused him to react.
"You already fu**ed us twice," Messi said to the referee, pointing with two fingers.
"Twice you fu**ed us up," he repeated shortly after.
The referee had gone to the VAR monitor to check whether Nico Gonzalez had fouled Angel Romero in midfield almost half a minute before Messi received a pass in the area that he sent into the back of the net, with his shot kissing off the post.
The Argentina players and coaching staff were jumping for joy, but their celebration was short-lived. Albiceleste boss Lionel Scaloni also voiced his displeasure with the decision.
"It's incredible, shameful..." he repeated again and again.
Ultimately, the match would end 1-1 as both Argentina and Paraguay remain unbeaten in qualification after three games apiece.

Previously he was one of the players on the field of play without much baggage, sadly now he's Captain of the team whether with Argentina or Barcelona. The armband dictates that he is the spokesperson of the team and grievances go through him either to officials officiating a match or team manager and his staff, he is not the most vocal person in life and it is not possible to learn how to be a spokesperson for your colleagues at the age of 30yrs and above. People are bound to judge him as arrogant because they know he's humble yet others still take unfair criticism if he doesn't react labelling him as not a leader. It is a delicate line to adhere to, the best he can do is hang up his boots! πͺπͺπͺ

Summary with facts and proof :- πPenalty should have been re taken bcoz Armani was off line and Paraguayan player was inside the box ( VAR saw but didn't say anything) πFoul on player happened, linesman was right behind standing no foul from linesman, nor any Paraguayan player complained. After two mins Messi scored goal. πVAR checked two mins old footage and goal was disallowed. I am not a football expert but never seen something like this form the time VAR has been introduced.

Is messi a referee? He only complains about referees when he loses and draw. Can he count the number of unfortunate decisions that has gone in his favour? Shut up and concentrate on playing football. These days, he prefers to talk about coaches and referees when even his team is down. It incredibly shamful too
Aren't you the team that lives off of wrong decisions
