Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher

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.

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.

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

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"

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.

Typical madrid take

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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

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