Lionel Messi commented on the uproar following Argentina's loss to Morocco with a score of 2-1 on Wednesday during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Messi expressed his disbelief at the dramatic scenario of the Argentine team's defeat against the Atlas Lions with a brief message on his official Instagram account, stating, "This is unbelievable."
The match was continued for 3 minutes after more than two hours had passed following Argentina's equalizer at 2-2 after 16 minutes of stoppage time, although the referee had initially assigned 15 minutes. Moroccan fans stormed the field and attacked the Argentine players, prompting the match to be halted as both teams retreated to the locker rooms.
After nearly two hours, video technology confirmed an offside before Christian Medina scored the second goal for Argentina. The referee resumed the game for 3 minutes without an audience before declaring Morocco the winner (2-1).
Argentine player Rodrigo De Paul also commented by posting a picture of the Argentine Olympic team to show his support for them in the ongoing competition. De Paul wrote: "With you more than ever, you can do it against any other opponent."
