He can do anything with the ball at his feet – but when it comes to ordering pizza, Lionel Messi (36) should do a few extra training sessions. At least that’s what countless food fans on the internet think, who make fun of the Argentinian’s food.
Why the pizza bullying against the reigning world champion?

Shortly before his club Inter Miami’s 2-5 defeat against Atlanta United, the seven-time world footballer published an Instagram video. What you can see: The dough is topped with tomatoes. Lots of tomatoes.
Lionel Messi, who was unable to play due to a muscle injury, apparently treated himself to a “Don Antonio”. According to the menu at the “Banchero Miami” restaurant, there are onions, anchovies and olives on it. Cost: The equivalent of around 30 euros for the 20 centimeter version. The 35-centimeter plate costs around ten euros more.

The video went viral on numerous social media platforms, and most of the reviews were scathing. A few tomato fetishists try to defend the food and argue that it is not a pizza but a fugazza. This is an Argentinian variant, invented in Buenos Aires.
However: Messi’s mafia cake is not listed under “Fugazza” on the menu, but under “Specialties”.

For “Banchero Miami”, the advertising of the noble technician, who is followed by more than 487 million people on Instagram, was worth its weight in gold.
Shortly afterwards, the store published a photo showing a long line in front of the entrance. The comment: “Corner of 71st Street and Collins Avenue, check it out! Thank you all for being here.” The comments under the photo are also much more benevolent than online.
The traditional restaurant (which has been around since 1932) has now added the following to its description: “Lionel Messi’s favorite pizza!”
