Messi was unhappy with the way the Maracana Stadium security crew treated the Argentine fans and showed compassion for the injured supporters.

Messi talked about the Maracana Stadium fan incident.

Brazil and Argentina’s rivalry was intense from the start, as supporters of the two sides engaged in violent altercations in the stands prior to kickoff. In order to get everything under control, the security personnel had to use force. The referee was obliged to postpone the start of the game when Messi requested his teammates to accompany him into the tunnel while he was on the field.

Messi explained the motivation behind the aforementioned behavior after the game. El Pulga revealed to TyC Sports: “I believe that postponing the game would help to diffuse the tension. It is regrettable that during intense games, there have been incidents of (Argentina) supporters being struck with sticks.

Messi attacked Brazilian police for oppressing Argentina supporters with sticks 1.

Police “quench the riot” on the sidelines by using batons. 

We made the decision to move momentarily to the locker room so that my teammates and I could check in with our families to see if they had been impacted. The squad came out and resumed the match after realizing the circumstances.

It’s quite unfortunate to have to watch the tumultuous situation. Seeing how the security personnel suppresses the supporters makes the situation even more regrettable. Brazilian police handled disputes in a manner reminiscent to the Copa Libertadores final (Boca Juniors vs. Fluminense). Sticks are still being used to silence irate fans.

Furthermore, there are family members of the player seated in the spectators. Players on the pitch will find it difficult to focus on their game while they are thinking about their families. That’s unfortunate for this match as well.

Messi proceeded to attack the police’s behavior on his own page, writing, “An amazing win for Argentina, but the treatment of Argentine fans will also be brought up. This has to end right away; it’s completely absurd and unacceptable.”
