Last night, in a shocking turn of events during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Argentina suffered a surprise defeat to Paraguay. Despite the result, Argentina remains at the top of the standings, though Colombia has the chance to draw level on points with a match later tonight.
As always, social media erupted with reactions, particularly focusing on Lionel Messi. Dailysports compiled some of the most striking comments from users.
“Like this post if you think Messi is finished and should retire now!” tweeted user LLF, garnering 50 likes already.
"Ronaldo Was Never Humiliated Like This." LLF also claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo has never faced humiliation like Messi did in the match against Paraguay.
Paraguayan Olimpia fan Mauri Garcete urged users to shift their focus from Messi to Antonio Sanabria, whose spectacular bicycle kick against Lisandro Martínez became the game’s highlight.
Erwin Gavriel reminded everyone that Messi has faced adversity before and always bounced back. He shared:
Pollismo, a popular meme page, noted how Messi is typically treated with reverence as a World Cup champion and eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. Yet Paraguay defender Omar Alderete gave the Argentine maestro no space—and even scored a goal himself!
Paraguayan fans quickly brought up a year-old comment from Messi, where he claimed not to know who Antonio Sanabria was. Last night, Sanabria reminded the world of his name with a stunning overhead goal.
