There are all prices, colors, models, sizes, etc. All with the face of Leo Messi, the viral phrase and the logo that represents the captain of the Albiceleste. So, users did not hesitate for a single second to purchase the souvenirs.

It is a great moment for those who market this merchandise, since the national team is one step away from reaching the World Cup grand final and with Messi as the main figure. All of this too, due to the date, is close to the end of the year festivities, in which a garment with the ‘what are you looking at, stupid’ would not go down badly as a gift.

Why did Lionel Messi react like this with Weghorst?

At the time of the incident, the Albiceleste captain was getting ready to offer statements to the TyC Sports chain. Then, the journalist Gastón Edul, in charge of the talk with the star, narrated the details of the cross between the South American and the man from the Netherlands, author of a double for the 2-2 that triggered in extra time and penalties.

“I was shocked to see Leo so angry”, revealed the communicator, who added that the players of both teams were already hot because of what happened during the penalties. But beyond that, Messi was outraged because the ‘Oranje’ striker approached the PSG star with the intention of asking for his shirt, after he provoked the Argentines in a tense moment.

“Leo gets angry when Weghorst, number 19, after provoking the Argentines in the penalty shootout, asks for his shirt. When he asks for the shirt, he got mad ”Added Edel. “That’s when Lautaro intervenes, Leo walks away and comes to us to give us the note. But he turns around and the other one (Weghorst) was standing there with a bad face that I don’t understand and there he started ‘go over there, go over there’, like get into your locker room ”said the journalist.

Edul confessed that he feared some repercussion against Messi, since there were FIFA representatives there and everything was broadcast live. “I told him three times that we were live because I didn’t want anything bad to happen because there were people from FIFA too and the phrase on the air was shocking, but he didn’t care too much. Later, he and his family took it naturally ”closed the story.
