Sometimes I wonder what Cristiano gives these guys. 😂

[MC @CrewsMat10]

The replay from different angles clearly shows Messi touched the ball first, then the defender fouled him.

There’s genuinely a massive hate campaign against Messi. You can’t tell me otherwise.

Messi at the World Cup:

•Joint most goals (8)
•Most big chances created (7)
•Most chances created (21)
•Highest xA (3.40)
•Second most goal contributions

A 39-year-old will never REMOTELY come close to the levels.

[AM☬ @AbsoluteMxssi]

Messi was all smiles after the fulltime whistle 😭❤️

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

Worse than Messi’s challenge against Algeria, by the way. Will social media react the same way or stay silent?

[MessiXtra @MessiXtraHQ]

🚨🗣️ Julián Alvarez:

"We will all do everything to ensure Messi wins the World Cup again. We are all at war for him. Every game is a battle for him. The first thing I did when I scored the goal was to hug him."

[Messi World @M10GOAT]

أصبح الأسطورة ميسي أول لاعب في التاريخ يخوض 15 مباراة في الأدوار الإقصائية من كأس العالم 🐐🇦🇷

[Messi World @M10GOAT]

رامي ربيعة (منتخب مصر):

"ميسي هو من ذهب إلى صلاح وبادر بالسلام قبل بداية المباراة، وكان هناك احترام متبادل، حتى بعد إهداره ركلة الجزاء لم نشهد مشاحنات وتدخلات، حتى عندما سقطت أرضًا قام بمساعدتي في النهوض."

[Dan @001Oxygen]

Messi Technique is insane.

This goal should win the goal of the Tournament.

It is the hardest goal scored at the World Cup

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

And this is exactly why I’d argue what Messi’s doing with Argentina right now is fully up there with the most impressive feats of his career.

39, no help, carrying.

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

If you want to know how crazy this is, imagine it was Portugal at this stage, and then they assigned an Argentine referee, you’ll see 500 conspiracy theories

[MessiXtra @MessiXtraHQ]

Only Messi can get French and Portuguese referees in back to back games and still get rigged shouts. 😂

[MC @CrewsMat10]

Nobody’s saying a word about Portuguese referees being assigned to Argentina’s game. 😭

If this was the other way around, we’d be hearing “FIFA WC is rigged”

[Abja🇯🇲 @AbjaFCB]

“Egypt has been robbed🤬”

Meanwhile Egypt players on IG:

[Barça Worldwide @BarcaWorldwide]

Egypt players posting their robber 🥺🤔🤭

[Polymarket Sports @PolymarketSport]

🚨FACT: No player has had more shots or created more chances in the last three world cups combined than Lionel Messi

[MC @CrewsMat10]

There’s no comparison more embarrassing than putting Messi’s World Cup stats side by side with Ronaldo’s.

Being compared to Messi is his greatest achievement literally.
