Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to insult Carlos Zambrano by calling him a “idiot” after the defender made a charge during Argentina’s win over Peru.
The center-back was trying to get the ball from the Argentina captain when they collided. The captain then said that Zambrano hit him. Messi was mad at the defender, and as he walked away, he called him names.
Messi used the same word, “bobo” (idiot), that he used against striker Wout Weghorst during an interview with the hero of Inter Miami’s 2022 World Cup win over the Netherlands. Many people watched the video of the incident and liked seeing the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner get angry. This new outburst has gotten a lot of attention in Argentina.
Messi set up Lautaro Martinez’s goal, which was the only goal of the game. The world winners won 1-0 and moved ahead of everyone else in their World Cup qualifying group. Messi now has two assists, which makes him tied for the most in the history of international football.
