Argentina striker Lionel Messi commented on the scene after the match of World Cup 2026 qualification against Paraguay (1-0), where Antonio Sanabria spat in his back.
Marca quoted Messi as saying:
They told me in the locker room that one of them had spit on me. The truth is, I don't even know who this guy is.
The Argentine noted that he did not want to give this situation more attention.
Recall, at the end of the match there was an argument between Messi and Sanabria, and the Paraguayan spat in the back of his opponent.
Argentina tops the standings with nine points in their group, while Paraguay is eighth with one point.
