Intense Moments: The Complete Video of Messi and Rodrygo’s Clash in Argentina-Brazil Classic

The complete video of the crossing between Messi and Rodrygo in Argentina-Brazil

The repercussions of the South American Classic continue, which Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 at the Maracaná in the Qualifiers with a goal from Nicolás Otamendi. In the last few hours, a video was released in which you can see the complete sequence of the tense discussion between Lionel Messi and Rodrygo minutes before starting the match, which was delayed due to the brutal police repression of Argentine supporters.

The captain of the National Team had a clash with the Real Madrid forward, who questioned his attitude of leaving the field of play due to the incidents in the stands. “If we are world champions, why are we shits?” was the response of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, according to the images shown by a camera from the TyC Sports media.

But a new camera followed the movements of both players from the beginning. In the first instance, Rodrigo De Paul is seen talking to Rodrygo. When Messi arrived at the place and got into the conversation, it is seen that he grabbed the Brazilian by the neck and reproached him: “You’re a kid, you have to watch your mouth. Who are the shitheads?” The 22-year-old attacker did not remain silent and retorted, warning him that they would cross paths again in the match.

The sequence began with Brazil’s number 10 saying “shithole” to the Argentine captain. “Why are you going to hit me?” the Brazilian told the Chilean referee Piero Maza, who approached to calm the waters. Messi continued looking at his rival and pointed to the bracelet that contained the AFA shield and the three stars.

The discussion continued during the meeting. “You’re annoying because you only want to talk. No, Leo, no,” the Brazilian shouted. Then, in the 7th minute, while De Paul was receiving medical attention for the blow he received in the face, Messi rebuked Rodrygo again: “Take care of your mouth, kid.” Immediately, Marquinhos, who shared a team with Lionel at PSG, separated them.

“We are world champions, shit about what? I’m asking you, come on, come on. I turned around here,” Messi said when Marquinhos and Gabriel Jesus approached the scene to soften things up.

At the end of the match, in dialogue with the Argentine media, Messi explained the reason for his anger with the Brazilian players. “We experienced it badly because we saw how he was hitting people, as he did in the Libertadores final, repressing people with sticks. There were players who had family members there and you think about the family member who is there, that you don’t really know what is happening and are more aware of that than playing a game that was secondary,” he said.

During the talk, the 36-year-old footballer also explained why they left the field: “We went to the locker room because it was the way to calm the issue down. We saw how they hit people, how they were thrown back, and a misfortune could have happened. When everything calmed down a little we decided to go inside, we asked how the relatives were, we found out how everything was and then we left.”
