Am I crazy or does this situation feel incredibly overblown? At the end of the day, it was two players talking shit, and it seems like people are making it out like some incredibly violent interaction occurred.

Also, maybe people in this sub haven't gotten over the Messi vs Ronaldo bullshit, but it was Rodrygo talking shit after the Argentinian national team to their credit tried deescalating the situation. Then they lost the fucking game to Argentina. I fail to see how this situation is embarrassing to Messi in any way. Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher, his response seems pretty normal in comparison to other players

Tbf I do think that anyone not named messi would have gotten a straight red for putting their hands around another player’s neck like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mexican players do that all the time in the USMNT/MEX match up so I doubt it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mate, that happened before the game started.

I think most people do treat Messi that way though.

I will never understand how people hold that moment against him. Weghorst staring daggers into him from across the room, literally looking like he wants to shank messi in the heart and everyone dog piles in messi for reasonably reacting

Am I wrong? People worship the ground he walks on and go into a blind rage at any criticism of him. He's the best player of all time but there are some unhealthy relationships people have with him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The issue is that people just glorify these athletes. Messi is a reserved guy, not very outspoken guy, but when provoked he will attack back. Should not be shunned for it, he is still a human who is going to defend himself. Just cause the guy is quite and not assertive, doesn't mean he isn't spineless.

Like any person, even if they are calm and relaxed nature, they will attack back at a certain point.

Yeah, this infantilization of Leo Messi never sat right with me. Just because he is introverted doesn't mean he won't get into squabbles with opposition players at all.

As a general statement, Rodrygo's dad is right. It's just that context doesn't make the statement look great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rodrygo started the fight, but surely his father is right lol. Messi should have apologized to rodrygo after being called a coward.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rodrygo's dad is right

"yeah, my son called you a coward after your people was getting beaten the shit out of them, you should apologize"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol Rodrygos dad is right ??? He literally posted this cuz his son is involved...and you wouldn't believe me...why is son is involved.... Apparently he called the captain of the opposition team coward for not playing a football match cuz people from his country were getting beat up with batons... I mean who even priorities stupid lives of people over a football match... Definitely right dad..

Read the full thing. That's only a small part of what I was saying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Typical madrid take

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No they don't. Everyone can recognize he's a good guy off the pitch and very reserved. On the pitch no one has ever claimed Messi to be a morally just angel. He has been hot headed on the pitch on several occasions in the last years and I haven't seen anyone deny it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

People criticize players for going to Saudi but they barely say anything about Messi being the face of Saudi tourism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Oh yeah rodrygo suffered racism from half the argentinian population and it is just overblown

cmon just because it is messi you guys are going to ignore what is happening here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's nothing going on here that isn't normal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was Messi racist? Is he culpable for the actions of his countrymen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

he is conivent, he never speaks agains racism, even when his country always does this shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, please try that again in intelligible language, I don’t know what “conivent” is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No excusing it, but all players are convenient when speaking against racism. I mean, I didn't see Rodrygo or Vini criticizing their own supporters when they were racist towards Araujo..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean that had nothing to do with Messi though? Messi didn’t make any racist comments, Messi didn’t ask people to be racist, Messi stood up for his team that’s it.. What the rest of Argentina does isn’t his responsibility right? Why would you blame the captain of the football team for the country to be racist? As for Messi himself I’m pretty sure him and Neymar were as close as brothers, clearly not something you’d see a racist do

And Rodrygo literally started this cause Messi went onto lead his team in protest against their people being beaten up? Did you even see the bleeding guy’s images?

Those racist comments are wrong on so many different levels, but that is not Messi’s fault, in the issue between Rodrygo and Messi, any non biased guy knows it was just Rodrygo being a brat

A 19 year old tennis player or NBA player simply cannot go talk shit to Federer/ LeBron, that’s just being a dick to a legend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you visit the Real Madrid sub recently? Rodrigo getting racial comments has nothing to do with Messi yet everyone is talking shit about messi there, it’s like they couldn’t care less about Rodrigo they just got a reason to hate on messi again. Racism - bad. Rodrigo calling the argentine team “cowards” because they refused to play while the police were beating their fans in the stands - also bad. Both can be bad, no one is justifying racism nor is anyone saying he deserves it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it has to do with messi, he is conivent with the racism of his countrymen by never speaking agains it

also lol trying to equate calling messi a coward to racism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

By your logic Rodrygo is to blame for the Police brutality that Argentina fans suffer everytime they go to Brasil lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The game was bad, they lose, brasilian police repressing argentians, rodrygo calling coward a team that tried to deescalate the situation and defend the safety of the public... They have to shift the conversation somehow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Go look at the tales on r/realnadrid. Take a hazmat suit with you.

And none of them see how cringey it is that a player’s father posts shit like this on Instagram like a wittle baby.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is literally just regular beef between two footballers from rival countries. They are acting like Messi racially abused Rodrygo himself.

It's completely overblown. Stupid by Rodrygo to call them cowards in this situation but typical trash talk. "We're the champions blah blah blah".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely overblown, but definitely overlooking the full context of the situation. Rodrygo got racially abused, which has been the hot topic of football, especially since he plays along side Vinicius, so people will focus on that more. Dont get me wrong, under no circumstances does Rodrygo deserve to get racial abused, however, he made himself out to be a target to the Argentine racists considering he was being completely insensitive towards the Argentina fans that were experiencing police brutality in the stands.

Not saying it justifies racism, because it doesnt, however that was the reason he was targeted. Rodrygo was being a complete idiot in his remarks towards Messi and co.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rodrygo isn't the first player to be racially abused by Argentina fans.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I never said he was. He got majority of the racial remarks compared to Endrick, Jesus, and Gabriel.

He put a target in his back for racists people to attack him because of what he said.

Both actions don’t make a right nor do they justify either actions. This isn’t a black or what situation, it’s clearly grey.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

100% wont be the last either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please explain for me what actually happened. I have seen reports about crowd trouble also, is this connected?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s very connected. The Brazilian FA and/or the stadium messed up and placed the away fans right in the middle of the home crowd. A fight broke out in the stands. The Rio police went in there and started beating the Argentines bloody, even with women and kids in the line of fire. The Argentine players decided to postpone the match until the violence stopped. Rodrygo accused Messi of being a chickenshit for the delay. Messi reminded him that the last time he played in the Maracaná, Argentina won and the world champions are not afraid of anyone.

They played, and Brazil lost. Now Rodrygo is getting hate from the usual human trash on Twitter because he turned a blind eye to police brutality and called someone else a coward for not doing so. (I think Marquinhos was the only Brazilian who tried to help, so props to him).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated! I assume you are Argentinian? Is there an alternative perspective or is this the general feeling?

Lol when people make fun of r/realmadrid they are specifically making fun if weirdos like you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This doesn't even get talked about the next day if it was the 90s or 2000s. But the drama monsters must feed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It actually makes me like Messi more. I like to see people be passionate and fight for their country.
