The game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia is still being talked about. After the surprising victory of the Saudis and then the king who declared this Wednesday a national holiday, a video has gone viral in which a Saudi player confronts Lionel Messi.
It all happened after Saudi Arabia’s second goal, scored by Al Dawsari. During the team’s festivities, centre-back Ali Albulayhi addressed the Argentina midfield star, patted him on the back and then confronted Messi in a visibly belligerent tone.

The content of the interaction between the two was revealed by the defender himself even after the meeting. “I told him [a Messi] that he couldn’t win the match,” said Ali Albulayhi.
After being confronted by the Saudi, Lionel Messi just smiled, visibly surprised.
Don’t forget that Argentina was beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in the opening of the World Cup. The reaction of the Argentinian media and the newspaper was not long in coming Hello he spoke of a “world coup d’état”, and the adjective used for a match that turned around and even nullified three goals against the Pampas team was only one: “Incredible”. For sports: “Argentina lost much more than a game against Saudi Arabia. They forgot the players in the dressing room and started the World Cup in the worst way”.
