Lionel Messi has laughed off the physical treatment he received from Cape Verde during Argentina’s World Cup last-16 qualifier.
He joked that his opponents “kick the crap” out of him on the pitch, before lining up afterwards to request his shirt and a selfie.
Messi shared a light-hearted moment with Cape Verde’s players after Argentina secured a 3-2 victory at the World Cup in Miami on Friday.
Several Cape Verde players waited behind after the final whistle to ask him for shirts and photographs, and he happily obliged, Goal.com reports.
