Messi’s Controversial Performance of Offensive Song to French National Team

Moscow, March 24 – The Argentine national football team and Paris Saint-Germain striker Lionel Messi sang an offensive song to the French national team, according to Mundo Deportivo.

On Thursday in Buenos Aires, the Argentine national team defeated the Panama national team in a friendly match with a score of 2: 0. Messi scored a goal, which became his 800th career in professional football.

After the match, the Argentine footballers were once again honored for winning the World Cup in Qatar. Italian forward Lautaro Martinez picked up the microphone and started singing the song: “A moment of silence for Brazil, you’re dead.” Then he sang the same words only about France. Messi and the rest of the Argentina national team gathered around Martinez and chanted the lyrics.

In December, the Argentine national team became the world champion for the first time since 1986. Messi was recognized as the best player in the final and the entire tournament. In the final match, the Argentine national team beat the French on penalties. Messi’s partner in Paris Saint-Germain is French striker Kylian Mbappe, who became the top scorer at the World Championships in Qatar.

Messi, who has been playing for the Spanish team Barcelona since the beginning of his career, joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 as a free agent. The Argentine has won the Ballon d’Or seven times. He also won the 2008 Olympics and the 2021 America’s Cup with Argentina. At the end of February, Messi won the FIFA Best Footballer of the Year 2022 award.
