Messi will likely receive an individual award that has nothing to do with his football expertise.
According to Record, Lionel Messi was nominated in the “Anger of the Year” award category, voted and awarded by Esland. This is one of several annual awards given to honor digital content creators in the Spanish-speaking community.
Messi was nominated thanks to the video scolding streamer Ibai Llanos right on the live broadcast of the Golden Ball awards gala: “Ibai, I hate you. I don’t like what you did. From now on, don’t expect to get anything out of you.” Any news from me?
Ibai was scolded by Messi because the 28-year-old streamer published a private message between him and Messi on live broadcast. Messi believed that this was an act of not respecting privacy, so he reacted harshly.
As for Ibai, this content creator also tried to appease Messi by claiming it was just a joke. However, Messi still expressed a harsh attitude: “You don’t respect my privacy. I answered your questions with goodwill but only got rudeness in return.”
After this incident, Ibai asked Sergio Aguero for help. “El Kun” appeared to reconcile and help Messi calm down his anger.
Currently, Messi is on vacation with his family. The Argentine superstar will return to play in early February. On February 2, Inter Miami will have a competition with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Even though it is only a friendly match, this match is still expected by the whole world, because this may be the last time fans can witness Messi directly compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.
