VIDEO Messi could have had a career after it: A threatening intervention by a Venezuelan representative in Argentina – Športky.sk

BRATISLAVA – Argentina won the match of the South American qualification of the World Cup 2022 on the field of Venezuela 3: 1, but Lionel Messi will not mention this match in the best way.

For the star of the French Paris Saint-Germain, this duel could have had a really difficult course. In the first half, he almost suffered a terrible injury after a terrible intervention from the opponent’s football. Venezuelan player Adrian Martinez was only on the pitch for seven minutes when he caught Messi’s leg with a horrible intervention. After checking through the VAR system, Martinez saw a well-deserved red card.

The Spanish daily Marco described this procedure as the worst Messi had ever experienced in his career.
However, the 34-year-old icon was very lucky and there was no fracture. At the same time, Messi continued the match and played for a full 90 minutes. At his age, it is no exaggeration to say that such an intervention could have resulted in Messi’s end of career. A possible injury could have serious consequences. Messi suffered only a crushed leg and a bruise.
