ļ»æCristiano Ronaldo seemed to insult Carlos Zambrano by calling him a āidiotā after the defender made a charge during Argentinaās 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.

Many people watched the video of the incident and liked seeing the eight-time Ballon dāOr winner get angry. This new outburst has gotten a lot of attention in Argentina.
Messi set up Lautaro Martinezās 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.
