Lionel Messi told the whole truth about his encounter with Robert Lewandowski in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Argentine star stated that he was upset with the Pole for some statements he had made about him and that is why he looked for him and haggled with him. The Inter Miami star stated that he was upset with the now FC Barcelona player, however he explained that they have already resolved their differences.
“The statements that Lewandowski had made had bothered me. Because when I won the Ballon d’Or I really meant what I said about him. And for him to speak the way he spoke, the truth is that he bothered me. He was upset, I thought what he said didn’t fit. He was hot. I dribbled it again because it was him,” Messi said in statements to ESPN.
Even Di María’s grandmother realized that Messi confronted Lewandowski on purpose
Few days ago Ángel Di María had referred to the subject of Messi with Robert Lewandowski at the Qatar 2022 World Cup and stated that “even his grandmother had noticed Messi’s anger.”
“Even my grandmother realized that Messi was deliberately confronting Lewandowski in the world Cup. They are things about him, that remain inside him sometimes. When someone talks about him, he ends up throwing it at you in a note or he does it to you on a court. He speaks like that, that way,” said Ángel Di María.
“I think it is normal. There are people who sometimes don’t respect him and don’t realize that he is the best player in history.. “You don’t have to tell him anything because it ends up turning on and it’s worse,” continued the current Benfica player in Portugal.
The whole Messi and Robert Lewandowski controversy began when the Pole won The Best Award without the vote of the Argentine star. Given this, the former Bayern Munich striker said: “He asked for a Ballon d’Or for me and he didn’t vote for me in The Best“.
However, at the 2021 Ballon d’Or presentation, Messi had asked for the award for the Polish striker and even offered words of praise. “Everyone agreed that last year you were the winner. It could not be done due to the pandemic, but I think you deserve to have this trophy in your house“commented the Inter Miami footballer.
Despite this controversy, Messi assured that the differences between the two have already been resolved and that they agreed on several points. The Pole even asked the Argentine for tips about Barcelona and both were on good terms.
