What happened between Wegourst and Messi?

The Netherlands players tried their best to distract their Argentine counterparts as they made their way to take penalties during the shootout in the World Cup quarter-finals. However, they did not manage to get into the heads of the South Americans, who came out victorious after the 2-2 draw.

Weghorst revealed his version of the story and told En Son Haber:

"For me, everyone is the same in a match. I fight. That's what I did in that match. I had some tense moments with Messi in the match and maybe he was surprised. I respect him a lot, he's one of the best ever. After the game I wanted to show Messi the respect I have for him, but he wasn't very open to it. Now at least he has learnt my name."

Messi later admitted that he was not happy with himself for his behavior and said:

"I don't like what I did. There was a lot of tension and it came out naturally. A lot had happened with this player and two others during the match. It came out naturally. I don't like this image."

Sergio Aguero chimed in and said:

"We were just starting to enter the dressing room when this big guy [Weghorst] started to shout 'hey, hey, Messi.' Leo turned around to look at him and said what he said. The guy then told him 'come here and say that.' So I jumped in there and told him to shut up. I said 'why are you talking to Messi like that?' He then said to me 'don't tell me to shut up.' It was a hot moment so I said 'ok, it's over. Go away. Shake my hand and good luck'."
