- 2 years ago
PSG star Lionel Messi got into a minor fight with his Argentine teammate Rodrigo De Paul as the two joked around during training.
The video, which is circulating on social media, was taken during the national team session in Miami as it prepares to face Honduras in a friendly on Friday night.
Messi and De Paul can be seen throwing verbal jabs at each other before the situation escalates and Leandro Paredes, Messi's PSG teammate, is forced to intervene.
According to Mundo Deportivo, De Paul asks the Argentine number 10: 'Are you stupid, Leo?' before throwing a light clap towards his teammate.
That's when Paredes steps in and drags De Paul away. Despite the slightly confrontational manner, all three players can be seen in good spirits and laughing at the incident.
The duo in question have built a strong relationship having been on the national team together since De Paul's call-up in 2018 and both were part of the Copa America-winning team in 2021.
Lionel Scaloni's team takes on Honduras tonight at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium in a friendly before taking on Jamaica on Wednesday of next week.
That game will be their penultimate match before the World Cup that starts in November, and the team is also scheduled to play the United Arab Emirates in the week before the tournament.
Drawn in Group C, Argentina will face Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia in Qatar later this year.
