After receiving his eighth Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi allowed himself a little friendly settling of scores with a famous Spanish streamer.
Some funny things definitely happened at this Ballon d’Or ceremony. To broaden the spectrum of traditional media, many Internet personalities, streamers and influencers were invited to the Châtelet theater, which sometimes led to surprising scenes.
Thus, Lionel Messi responded in the mixed zone to questions from Ibai, a famous Spanish streamer, close to many players or former players of FC Barcelona, such as Gerard Piqué. With the Argentinian, they know each other well. The proof, the now eight-time Ballon d’Or took the opportunity to return to an “incident” which occurred recently.
“I didn’t like what you did the other day at all. Messi asked his interlocutor. When I sent you a message and you read it in front of everyone. » It was generally in a joking tone, and Ibai tried to defend himself by blaming one of their mutual friends, Sergio Agüero.
To drown out the fish, Ibai tried to ask Messi a question about his feelings after this new Ballon d’Or. But the Argentinian quickly replied: “Yes yes, change the subject, son of a bitch…”said the Inter Miami player, with a little smile.
