In the video, Messi is walking out of the tunnel onto the pitch. In the stands, some spectators throw objects down, calling Messi’s name. Suddenly, a jersey is thrown down and the former Barca star accidentally steps on it.
This was not really Messi’s intentional action. Because afterwards he looked up at the stands as if he wanted to send a “reminder” message to the person who threw the Barca shirt.
However, many edited clips have caused the Argentine superstar to be involved in the drama “from the stands down”. He received a lot of criticism for being considered disrespectful to his old team, the place that brought him to the peak of fame and career.
Meanwhile, many people defended the “greatest player in the team’s history”, believing that it was just an “unlucky” situation.
Full scene of the moment Messi accidentally stepped on Barca’s shirt.
Lionel Messi has been with Barca for more than two decades. He and the Nou Camp team won 10 La Liga titles and 4 Champions Leagues. Messi’s total goals for the club are 672.
In fact, the GOAT has expressed his affection for the team that “raised” him many times. He even wishes to return to his “home field” to compete after the renovation process is completed in 2025.
