"You can't live with this". Messi speaks out about fan fight at Brazil-Argentina match

Argentina captain and striker Lionel Messi, after defeating Brazil (1:0) in the sixth round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, said that the behavior of Brazilian fans should not be ignored.

As you know, the meeting was postponed by almost half an hour due to riots in the stands. In particular, Brazilian fans attacked the Argentine sector, after which the police intervened in the situation.

Messi noted that the victory was overshadowed by incidents related to the aggression of Brazilian fans against the Argentines. He believes that one cannot simply accept this; such behavior is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately.

Argentine players tried to intervene in the conflict between fans and the police, after which Messi decided to take his team off the field to a room under the stands.

After six matches, Argentina is in first place in the standings with 15 points. But Brazil is in sixth place with seven points and has a streak of three defeats in a row.
