Argentina suffered a 2-1 setback to Saudi Arabia in their 2022 FIFA World Cup opening match in Qatar. According to fans, Argentina captain, Lionel Messi is to be blamed for his bad performance. Although Lionel Messi scored the lone goal for Argentina, football fanatics took to Twitter to criticize him for ‘choking’ under difficult circumstances.
The PSG forward launched the scoring for Argentina from the penalty spot in the 10th minute, after a VAR review. Three other goals were disallowed due to offside calls captured by the automated system before halftime, as Saudi’s high line of defense refused to budge.
Saudi Arabia scored two goals in eight minutes against all odds in the Group C battle of 2022 FIFA World Cup. Saleh Al-Shehri equalized after snatching a yard from Cristian Romero and firing across the goal. As Argentina’s backline was broken again, Salem Al-Dawsari continued to work himself into the room to shoot within the box and hit the top corner.
Argentina landed in Qatar with the exclusive goal of proving that Messi’s last FIFA World Cup would be recognized as the one that bestowed upon his heritage the magnificent, golden shine that only this championship, this utmost victory, can give. Conversely, they must now address the terrifying prospect that it will be perpetually linked with one of its saddest insults, one of the biggest disappointments in FIFA World Cup history.
Famous personalities all around the globe were startled and instantly took to social media after the final whistle to critique PSG forward Messi for flopping on the international level. After all, not everything is destroyed. Argentina still has two matches to avoid failure and save its head; outscore Mexico and Poland in the remaining two group matches, and losing to Saudi Arabia will appear to have caused no permanent harm.
Piers Morgan, KSI, and others troll Lionel Messi on his performance against Saudi Arabia
Piers Morgan, a renowned journalist who was recently in the news for interviewing Cristiano Ronaldo took to Twitter saying ‘Oops’ with a picture of Lionel Messi to troll him following his loss to Saudi Arabia.
KSI is another famous personality who instantly tweeted about Lionel Messi. He tweeted a picture of a man who looks like Messi with the caption “Messi rn.”
Lionel Messi is the type of player if you’re cruising you’ll never lose but when you need him the most he gets nervous he still hasn’t sorted out that problem or someone is putting way too much pressure on him (Argentina fans and players)
