France: Lionel Messi was in disbelief as Argentina lost to Morocco in a dramatic 2-1 encounter at the Paris Olympics 2024. Messi, who won the Olympic Gold medal in Beijing Olympics 2008, took to his social media to vent out his frustration.

“Insolito ( Strange)” wrote the Albiceleste captain.

Morocco were leading 2-1 against Argentina . However, Cristian Medina scored an equalizer against Morocco in the added time.

The game saw 2 hours stoppage due to fans’ Pitch invasion & objects being thrown targeting the Argentine players.

After the start of the match with everything restored and an empty stadium, VAR ruled out Medina’s goal due to offside, to everyone’s shock. Argentina thereby lost the match 2-1.

Following the loss, head coach Javier Mascherano, did not hold back his feelings about the chaotic affairs of the game .

“It is the biggest circus I have ever seen in my life,” Mascherano told the media.

Leaving behind the woes of the opening game, Argentina will take on Iraq on Saturday, July 27.
