Lionel Messi felt on his own skin what a person who cannot accept the saying about losing gracefully can resort to.
In the FIFA Club World Cup final held at the Yokohama Stadium on Sunday, "Barcelona" confidently defeated Buenos Aires' "River Plate" team with a score of 3:0 and won this trophy for the third time. L. Messi scored one of the goals for his compatriots.
Such an end to the match especially saddened one "River Plate" fan, who vented his anger by attacking the Catalan club superstar at the Narita Airport in Tokyo.
According to reports, the man insulted and physically assaulted the football player. The striker was immediately defended by former "Barcelona" coach Luis Enrique, Luis Suarez, and Javier Mascherano, the latter of whom has previously played for the "River Plate" team.
At the same time, several "River Plate" officials at the airport immediately condemned such behavior by their fan, while Buenos Aires' club president Rodolfo D'Onofrio openly stated: "Fools are everywhere. Lionel Messi is a gentleman."
The behavior of the Argentine team's fan did not go unnoticed in the national media. "It's very sad, but disrespect sometimes has no limits," sadly stated the newspaper "Ole".
