World Cup: Mexico mocks Messi by issuing "wanted notice" before facing Argentina

This is an image that has something to smile about.

After its draw against Poland (0-0), Mexico has an unexpected opportunity to eliminate Argentina, defeated on Tuesday by a surprising Saudi Arabia (1-2), in the event of victory this Saturday at the Lusail stadium in Doha.

And to launch this clash, Mexican newspapers have already targeted Lionel Messi.

On its Twitter account, the newspaper TNT Sports Mexico has launched a search to find the genius of PSG before facing Argentina.

" Wanted poster !

Name: Lionel Messi.

Age 35”, worries the newspaper before discussing his performance when he entered the World Cup.

"He was last seen in the 10th minute of the game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in Lusail," the media said.

To top it off, the media posted a photo of the six-time Ballon d'Or in the form of a ghost.

Certainly a lèse-majesté crime for Lionel Messi who will want to shine to take revenge for this joke and thus relaunch his team in this World Cup.

"Physically and mentally, Leo is fine"

Despite his goal from the penalty spot, the Parisian striker, in search of the only trophy he lacks, did not necessarily shine against Saudi Arabia.

But he can still count on the unfailing support of his coach, Lionel Scaloni.

“Leo is fine and more than ever we need everyone.

We have no doubts, physically and morally, Leo is fine.

There is no problem.

Like all his teammates, he knows that the cards are on the table and that our fate continues to depend on us,” claimed the Argentinian.
