Karachi: Lionel Messi also got angry over the controversial defeat of the Argentine team by Morocco in the Olympics.
The captain did not see fit to take the field in the team’s first match at the Paris Games against second-tier Morocco, a 1-2 loss to Argentina.
When the team was about to equalize in the last minute, spectators stormed the ground, threw bottles and chanted anti-Argentina slogans, leading to the suspension of play.
The last few seconds of the game were played behind closed doors, with Messi and the team manager calling the match a circus.
