"Want to kill me" - Royal Rising Star hilariously reveals a small dispute with Messi

Recently, in the 2026 World Cup South American qualifiers, Argentina defeated Venezuela 3-0 at home. This game is likely to be Messi's last official game in Argentina, where he scored two goals. Real Madrid star Franco Mastuno, who is only 18 years old, made his first start for the Argentina national team and formed a forward partner with Messi. There was a small episode in the

The game occurred: in the first half, Mastuno accidentally blocked Messi's shooting route while running, causing the latter to miss the chance to score. Although this cooperation mistake was caused by insufficient communication, Messi then showed a little frustration.

After the game, Mastuno responded to this matter in a relaxed tone: "Yes, he might want to 'kill me' at that time. "The young player admitted with a smile, "But he quickly understood the situation, and I apologized for the mistake. "

Mastuno, who recently publicly stated that he believed Messi was the best player in history, could not hide his excitement of competing with his idol: "Fighting side by side with him has realized my lifelong dream. It is incredible to be able to compete with him at home in the River Plate. "

Mastuno added: "He is my idol since I was a child. Today, he is the treatment he deserves and the scene that we all hope to see. "

Messi has made it clear that he has not decided whether to participate in the 2026 World Cup. If he finally participates, he is likely to fight side by side with Mastuno again. The Real Madrid star is regarded as one of the most promising young players in football and is expected to become the successor to the Argentina team's No. 10 jersey in the future.
