The match between Argentina and the Netherlands had a heated environment throughout the matchup, even Lionel Messi going as far as getting into a confrontation with their manager Louie van Gaal.
However, van Gaal wasn’t the only person with whom the Paris Saint-Germain star had an issue during the game.
The Argentine stopped in the middle of an interview to get into a heated exchange with Dutch striker Wout Weghorst, per TyC Sports. The score of the Netherlands’ two goals approached him while conducting his postgame talk to a media outlet.
“Qué miras, bobo? Andá para allá!” we hear him say vehemently in the direction of a person out of view of the camera. Translation: “What are you looking at, idiot? Go over there!”
Messi 🤬😂

Argentina will attempt to put this tense victory that saw them cough up a 2-0 in the second half when they matchup against Croatia on Tuesday in the semifinals, who are coming off impressive wins over Japan and Brazil.
