JAKARTA - In the 2022 World Cup quarter-final match between the Netherlands and Argentina which was hot, a commotion between players occurred several times. In fact, some even got to the tunnel after the game was over.

One of the players who looked angry was Argentine star Lionel Messi, who faced Dutch striker Wout Weghorst in the mixed zone during an interview with 'Tyc Sports'.

"What do you see, stupid? Go back there. Get out of here," Messi told Weghorst.

Bribe Edul, the journalist who interviewed Messi when the incident occurred, told the background of the incident.

"At one point when we broadcast live, I told him 'Leomes' because there are a lot of people from FIFA and you don't know what can happen," recalled Edul.

After the match, in the dressing room, they were already arguing with each other, not just Messi. [Virgil] Van Dijk with [Nicolas] Otamendi too.

"It looks like Lanus vs Banfield at La Fortaleza, or Rosario Central vs Newell's Old Boys.

But the impact was even greater because they were elite players. Leo's anger was more at what happened on penalties, when the Dutch mocked Argentina.

"After he went looking for Van Gaal, No.19 [Weghorst] waiting for him in the tunnel. He approached Messi and asked for his shirt.

And that's where Leo started heating up. The Dutchman didn't understand, he stood there and Messi cursed. And he was more frustrated before than during the interview, when he was calm.

"This is a memory that will stay with us forever. Argentine players are frustrated because [Netherlands] talk a lot. And when (player) No.19 was standing there with a cruel face, that's when Messi said 'go there'."
