‘Unbelievable,’ says Messi after Argentina’s dramatic loss to Morocco in Olympics opener
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Lionel Messi has broken his silence following Argentina’s loss to Morocco in what was a controversial match.Despite being one of the tournament favorites with a squad featuring Julian Alvarez, Nicolas Otamendi, and Enzo Fernandez, Argentina found themselves 2-0 down in Saint-Etienne due to two goals by Soufiane Rahimi.

Giuliano Simeone managed to pull one back for Argentina in the 68th minute, and it seemed that Cristian Medina had leveled the score in the 106th minute.The referee added 15 minutes of stoppage time, during which Medina scored what looked like the equaliser in the 16th minute of added time after a chaotic scramble.

However, the game was marred by further controversy as projectiles including bottles and plastic cups rained down from the stands and several spectators entered the pitch, with the referee promptly blowing the whistle, leading to the suspension of the match without a confirmed result.Eventually, it was announced that both teams would play three more minutes without fans present.Both sides finally reappeared two hours later to play out three more minutes in a stadium that was by now emptied of spectators.

After play resumed, Medina’s goal was eventually disallowed for offside following a VAR review, and Morocco held on to claim all three points.Lionel Messi, who previously won Gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing with Argentina, appeared to have voiced his displeasure on Instagram.

He posted the word “Insolito,” meaning “Unbelievable,” along with a stunned emoji to convey his disbelief after the events that transpired.
