Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has reacted on social media in a shell-shocked manner after his country suffered a dramatic 2-1 defeat against Morocco in their 2024 Paris Olympic opening clash yesterday.
Argentina were down 2-1 when a massive 15-minute injury time was added at the end of 90 minutes.
Cristian Medina looked to have scored a late equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw for La Albiceleste.
However, the game was interrupted as angry Moroccan fans entered the stadium.
The match was temporarily suspended and after almost two hours, a VAR check confirmed that the goal was ruled out because of offside.
The remaining three-plus minutes were played as players re-emerged in an empty stadium.
The match ended 2-1 win in favour of Morocco, sparking a reaction from Messi on social media.
The Inter Miami captain wrote on his Instagram story:
“Insolito (Spanish).” “Unbelievable (English).”
Messi is currently recovering from an ankle injury he sustained during Argentina’s Copa America triumph over Colombia.
The former Barcelona captain is not part of Argentina’s squad at Olympics.
