The home team was reduced to one player for the last 20 minutes after Azael Gonzalez was sent off. Despite the fact that it was a friendly match, the players from both teams clashed several times, even slapping each other. Fans go wild for MessiOn two occasions, the fans ran onto the pitch to greet Messi. The Argentine, who played 75 minutes, was slow to appear, but when he did, he showed his class.
The Argentine was very active in directing his team’s play, constantly dropping into midfield to receive the ball and coordinate with his teammates.
The strangest thing happened when a fan tried to approach the Argentine. Immediately, Messi’s bodyguard rushed to protect him, as he always does, taking advantage of his strength. However, this time his body overcame his strength, he hit the fan and fell to the ground. He then quickly recovered to chase the fan and grab him from behind.
