It’s important to note that Messi concluded the season with Inter Miami nursing an injury, missing six out of the last nine MLS regular-season games due to muscle problems, with the team ultimately not making it to the playoffs.
Tensions marked the match at Maracana against Brazil, and Messi had a clear disagreement with Rodrygo. The disagreement arose when Messi, as the captain, led his teammates off the pitch amid uncertainty about whether the match would continue. Several Brazilian players demanded the game to proceed, leading to a confrontation between Messi and Rodrygo.
According to reports, Rodrygo said something that displeased Messi, prompting the Argentine to grab the Brazilian by the neck and assert, “Why are we sh*theads? We are world champions.” The incident reflects the intensity and emotions involved in a fiercely contested match.
