Lionel Messi could face disciplinary action following an outburst at the referee during Argentina's World Cup qualifying match against Paraguay on Thursday, November 13, 2024. Tensions were high throughout the match, which saw Argentina suffer a shocking 2-1 defeat to Paraguay in Asunción.
The incident occurred in the closing stages of the match, when Messi's frustration boiled over after a controversial refereeing decision. Argentina had a goal ruled out, and Messi was visibly agitated.
According to reports, the referee's decisions, particularly in the dying moments of the game, provoked an angry outburst from the Argentine star. Messi was seen verbally confronting the referee, which almost led to a red card. Although he was issued a yellow card, the situation remained tense.
This incident comes on the back of other controversies involving Messi, including a recent altercation during his time with Inter Miami, where he was also involved in a heated exchange with officials. The Argentine forward could now face further scrutiny for his conduct on the pitch during such high-profile fixtures.
With this loss, Argentina's position in the qualifiers remains secure, but the defeat was a significant setback. Fans and media alike will be keeping a close eye on any potential disciplinary action Messi might face from football's governing bodies.
