Messi reveals his dark side, the incredible scene (video)

Renowned for his phlegm and discretion, Lionel Messi has revealed another side of his personality.

The scene almost went unnoticed in Europe. However, it says a lot about the real temperament of Lionel Messi. In his public appearances, the Argentinian world champion often appears discreet, timid, even self-effacing. An image that contrasts with other players in his category on the planet, such as the very characterful Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar or Kylian Mbappé.

But Messi can also have a more natural and less calculating attitude when circumstances require it. A week ago, after receiving his 8th Ballon d’Or during the ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet by France Football, a scene was captured by several South American television channels. We see Lionel Messi, smiling, nicely settling scores with the Spaniard Ibai Llanos.

“The son of a bitch changes the subject”

Ibai Llanos conducted an interview with Messi on his Twitch channel, before publicly revealing a message from the Argentinian. Which the latter didn’t really appreciate. “ I’m still very angry with you“, Messi threw at the streamer, referring to “ what (he) did the other day“. “ You have sent a message and made it public. I’m not going to respond to you anymore because you don’t respect privacy. I answered well, in a good way. Next time I’ll give you a helping hand“.

Embarrassed and visibly surprised, Llanos, who had taken care to congratulate the eight-time Ballon d’Or, then changed the subject, which made Messi smile more teasingly than ever. “The son of a bitch changes the subject…”, then launched the Inter Miami player. The expression “hijo de puta” can be used frequently in Spanish, including in a more affectionate context. But this funny scene greatly surprised the fans of a Leo Messi who is usually much more civilized….
