World Cup: Mexico taunts Messi by issuing ‘wanted notice’ ahead of meeting with Argentina

This is an image that has something to smile about. After a 0-0 draw with Poland, Mexico has a surprise opportunity to knock out Argentina, beaten 1-2 by a surprise Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, if they win this Saturday at the Lusail Stadium in Doha. And to start this clash, Mexican newspapers have already set their sights on Lionel Messi.

In its Twitter account, the TNT Sports Mexico newspaper launched a search for the genius of PSG before the match with Argentina. “Poster wanted! Name: Lionel Messi. Age 35,” the newspaper worries before discussing his World Cup performance. “He was last seen at the 10th minute of the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in Lusail,” media reported .

To top it off, the media published a photo of the six-time winner of the Golden Ball in the form of a ghost. Of course, this is a crime against majesty for Lionel Messi, who will want to shine in order to avenge this joke and thus restart his team in this World Cup.

“Physically and mentally Leo is fine”

Despite his penalty goal, the Parisian striker, in search of the only trophy missing, did not necessarily shine against Saudi Arabia. But he can still count on the continued support of his coach, Lionel Scaloni. “Leo is fine and we need everyone more than ever. We have no doubt, physically and mentally Leo is fine. No problem. Like all his teammates, he knows that the cards are on the table and that our fate still depends on us, ”said the Argentinean.
