Behind the scenes of the World Cup, Lionel Messi faced threats that sound terrifying even after the tournament's conclusion.

Details: According to a police report cited by Marca, Lionel Messi received the highest number of serious threats during the 2026 World Cup. One of these allegedly involved a plan to attack using improvised explosive devices.

Before the group stage match between Argentina and Jordan, an unidentified man reportedly called Dallas Airport, claiming he intended to enter the stadium with two accomplices. According to the source, they were allegedly armed and in possession of improvised explosive devices, with Messi specifically named among the potential targets.

Later, similar threats surfaced ahead of the World Cup round of 16 clash between Argentina and Egypt. Reports also mentioned the possibility of a suicide attack targeting the Argentine superstar. The existence of such threats during the tournament is further detailed in the published police dossier.

Additionally, law enforcement received a separate message alleging that explosives had been hidden in trash bins inside the stadium. Police conducted a thorough search of the arena using bomb-sniffing dogs, but no explosives were found—proving the alarm to be false.

It is worth noting that despite numerous security threats, the World Cup concluded without any major incidents affecting matches or fan zones, as later reported by American law enforcement agencies.

Reminder: An act worthy of applause! Madrid gives thanks to Messi.
