He himself Weghorst had said then about the incident: “I just wanted to shake his hand after the match. I respect Messi a lot as a footballer, but he pushed my hand away and didn’t want to talk to me. My Spanish is not very good but I’m sure he said some very bad things to me and that’s why I’m very disappointed with him“, he had said.

The journalist Esteban Edul, who was taking ‘Leo’s’ statements when he heard him yelling at Weghorst, had revealed what had happened. “After the match there was a lot of tension in the locker room. There were many skirmishes, it wasn’t just Messi. Like for example between Van Dijk and Otamendi. It was like after a derby in Argentina, but on an even bigger scale, because we are talking about world-class players. Messi was irritated by the penalty shootout because the Dutch were challenging the Argentines. Weghorst was waiting for Leo in the tunnel and approached him asking for his jersey. That’s where Messi ‘charged’. The Dutchman did not understand what he was saying. He stood there looking at him and that made Messi even more furious and he said what he said to him“, he said.

In fact, the 35-year-old ace was so beside himself that he could not do the interview. “He was very angry, that he did not even look at me, nor did he listen to what I said to him. I asked him something about his assist in the 1-0 and he was telling me about Van Gaal and FIFA. I couldn’t interview him. At one point before we went on air I told him to calm down because there were some people from FIFA around and I don’t know what could happen“, he added.
