Football — 12/05/2023

During the Poland vs. Argentina match, Lionel Messi appeared irritated and disregarded Robert Lewandowski’s apology.

During Poland vs. Argentina, the main players on the field were Robert Lewandowski and Lionel Messi. These two celebrities were in a collision situation in the center of the field at the end of the game. After fouling Argentina’s top player, Lewandowski earnestly sought to make amends.

Messi, though, pretended not to notice the Polish team’s striker by turning a blind eye. The 35-year-old superstar did not respond to the opponent’s attempt to shake hands or gaze into Lewandowski’s face.

Lewandowski fouled Messi.

This moment caused fans on social networks to talk. Many people believe that Messi’s visibly upset attitude shows that the star who owns 7 Golden Balls does not have sympathy for Lewandowski.

The Mirror (UK) wrote: “Lionel Messi’s awkward moment with Robert Lewandowski shows what they really think about each other”.

According to the Express newspaper, Lionel Messi was not thrilled with his performance in this match because his opponents did everything within their power to tag and block him at every point. Furthermore, Messi’s psychological unease can also be related to the first-half penalty that was missed.

The two players were close as if nothing had happened after the game, though.

But these two superstars immediately dispelled any doubts that Messi was unhappy with Lewandowski and wasn’t seeing his face. Messi made the initiative to approach the Polish team captain after the game.

Standing at 1m85, Lewandowski bowed slightly to hear Messi speak. Argentina and Poland’s captain tandem gave each other a deep, passionate hug. Messi, meanwhile, declined to comment when questioned about the matter.

“Nothing happened. He doesn’t speak Spanish. I was also taught that whatever happens on the field, it stays onthere”, number 10 of the Argentina team said. When talking to each other after the match, both Messi and Lewandowski covered their mouths with their hands.
