According to u/TyCSports on Twitter, here’s what happened:

Rodrygo to Messi after Argentine team came out from the locker room: “You cowards.”
Leo Messi: “We are the world champions, why are we cowards? Look at your mouth.”

what caused the fight between Messi, De Paul, and Rodrygo?

Honestly, I’m surprised Rodrygo is the one involved in this fight as he’s the last person on the Brazil squad I’d expect to see in an altercation with ANY of the Argentina players.

Very respectful neck grab

Imagine picking an argument with Messi on the pitch. You’re dead before it’s started. “8 Ballon d’Ors, pussy boy, beat it”.

The dialogue between Messi and Rodrygo, reports @TyCSports

🇧🇷 Rodrygo to Messi after Argentine team came out from the locker room: “You cowards.”

🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “We are the world champions, why are we cowards? Look at your mouth.”

Messi being more open about being a piece of shit lately

Laliga heritage

Florida changed Messi 🤣🤣

There was no discussion. The GOAT was telling a player who will be gone in a few years how things are.

Rodrygo called Argentina “cagones” (someone who withers on the biggest stages). Messi responds with, “if we were cagones then we wouldn’t be world champs.”

Messi is the best of all time but he is a dirty player at times.

Messi been getting a lil handsy lately. Necks and throats shouldn’t be touched

Messi is so likeable

Total hypothetical here but I’m thinking if there was ever an all out brawl but just between the two teams, Brazil would take it.

Lol comments are wild. Messi grabs his neck, gives it a squeeze, then pats it. Not really that big of a deal or a dick move…

Messi has been rather violent since the Covid-19 lockdown…
