Messi comments on the scenario of losing Argentina from Morocco

Dubai, U.A.E. (CNN) – Argentine star Lionel Messi commented on his country’s under-23 team’s loss to Morocco by two goals to one on Wednesday in the first round of the group stage of the men’s football competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The match witnessed a strange incident, as it resumed after a hiatus of nearly two hours.

The result of the match indicated that the Atlas Lions had a two-goal lead over the Tango, before the Argentines succeeded in scoring the equalizer in stoppage time 105+.

Following the goal, the players and the referees walked off the pitch, amid some riots from the fans in the stands of the Geoffroy Guichard Stadium.

The official account of the Morocco national team on social media platforms announced the end of the match with a 2/2 draw.

But the biggest surprise was the announcement that the match was not over yet, to be resumed for 3 minutes, and then the Swedish referee Jeen Nayberg canceled the second Argentina goal for offside after returning to the “VAR” technique, so that the “Atlas Lions” team won 1/2.

Messi posted on the feature “Story” via the Instagram platform, after the match: “Unbelievable”, and attached the “Story” emoji, in reference to his surprise at the scenario of the team’s loss.
