Brazil: Rodrygo victim of racism after his clash with Messi

The clash between Brazil and Argentina was won by the Albiceleste (1-0), but it was above all marked by incidents in the stands and tensions on the pitch. These included the clash between Merengue Rodrygo and Lionel Messi.

After being heated by the Brazilian, Messi replied by grabbing him by the back of the neck: «If we’re world champions, why are we m/rdes?»

Things calmed down afterwards, but the affair did not end there.

Since then, Rodrygo has been the victim of racist insults on social networks from certain Argentinian fans. In particular, monkey emojis have proliferated.Human stupidity at its best.
