In this video, tension seems to be rising inside the tunnel when Wout, who was looking to shake hands with an Argentina player or an official, was confronted by the retired striker. It was then both Lisandro Martinez and Lautaro Martinez intervened and tried separating these two.
The game that saw Argentina winning on penalties (4-3) involved many moments of unpleasing behaviour from players of both teams, that included Wout Weghorst and Lionel Messi too. Altercations between these two even continued after the final whistle was blown.
In a post match interview, Netherlands strikersaid, “I wanted to give him a hand after the football match. But he smashed my hand away and didn’t want to speak with me. My Spanish is not so good, but they were not respectful words. So it was really disappointing.” To which Messi replied, “I don’t like people talking before games. The 19th (Weghorst) came and started to provoke us, bump into us, tell us things. Their coach was not respectful to us either.”
Messi’s Argentina has cruised through the semis of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar with the win over the Netherlands, and will now face Croatia for a spot in the finals.
