Lionel Messi came out of his reserve. Rare thing. During the friendly match easily won by the Argentinian world champions against Curaçao (7-0), Tuesday in Santiago del Estero, the Paris Saint-Germain striker lectured a young ball boy.

“He still yelled at me a bit”
Questioned by the Argentine media at the end of the match, the young man recounted the scene. “I don’t know why he told me that, the ball was inside (the field, editor’s note), he confided. Later, he told me that everything was fine, but he still yelled at me a bit. It’s not great that he bitched about me, but… Messi spoke to me. » The ball boy then called out to the native of Rosario to ask him for his jersey.
