Indignation with Casillas after his controversial tweet about the victory of Messi and Argentina: “Now say it without crying”

After Argentina’s victory against France in the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, Iker Casillas wrote a comment on Twitter that has stung part of the Argentine fans and also the fans who have turned to the selection of Leo Messi.

After the game, the former Merengue goalkeeper launched on his social networks: “You score 3 goals in a World Cup final plus another in the penalty shootout and it doesn’t come to win the title.” He made reference to the three goals scored by Kylian Mbappewhich were not enough to turn the game around and avoid penalties between the French and the Albicelestes.

You score 3 goals in a World Cup final plus another in a penalty shootout and it doesn’t come to win the title!

On the comment wall, a flood of Internet users hinted that the former white player still has some thorns against Messi, one of the players who gave him the most headaches during the Clásicos between Real Madrid and Barça. Some, just in case, reminded him of the soccer star’s data.

Íker, you won everything and even so, all your comments show that you are super mega taken by the best of all time. You are a great goalkeeper, one of the best I’ve seen, but like all Real Madrid fans, Messi ruined your football opinion. Let the thrush take it from you

It reminded me of when you made 3 authentic saves and even so you ate 6 from Barça

Sorry Iker, I didn’t listen to you because I was embroidering another star on the shirt. What were you saying?

Now say it without crying

Look Iker, I know that it’s hard for you as a Real Madrid fan to understand, but in football to win you have to score more goals than your rival

Casillas also participated as a TVE commentator at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, highly criticized for being held in a country where human rights are trampled. The eternal rivalry between Barça and Madrid makes many see some resentment in Casillas’s tweet, although in other messages he celebrated the triumph of the South Americans.

Congratulations!! ???????????? https://t.co/BuanBAJXlM

In silence, without making any noise, he has known how to take Argentina to the top. Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/naZwxLDYQT

During this World Cup, Iker returned to Spain for a few days due to the admission of his ex-wife to the hospital, Sarah Carbonero. She put aside her commitments to be next to her two children, Martín y Lucas. However, he arrived on time for the last games and for the final, in which the PSG player established himself, in case there were any doubts, as the best of all time.
