Lionel Messi starred in one of the most iconic moments of the World Cup in Qatar, when he went against Wout Weghorst, a striker from the Netherlands, whom he called "stupid", after the classification of the Argentine team to the semifinal. After said episode, the current Manchester United attacker now went against another Argentine, this time in the Europa League.

In the quarterfinals of the World Cup held in the Middle East, the European striker showed hostility from the beginning and went against the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). He even attacked him during the game. After the final whistle, the PSG forward, before chatting with the journalist Gastón Edul, launched the famous phrase: "What are you looking at, stupid" towards Weghorst, who now shares a dressing room with Lisandro Martínez and Alejandro Garnacho.

Now, in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, Weghorst once again attacked another Argentine. In the duel between Manchester United and Sevilla, the Dutchman nudged Gonzalo Montiel. Despite the fact that VAR exists, the central judge did not expel the European, who directly hit the right back who scored the final penalty, in the World Cup final in Qatar.

The key between Manchester United and Seville was left open after the match at Old Trafford:

Despite the fact that Manchester United took the lead on the scoreboard in the first stage, Sevilla reacted in the final stretch and tied 2-2 and left the key open. Four world champions played in the 'Theater of Dreams'. Lisandro Martínez started and retired injured. While Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuña performed in the Spanish team. In addition, 'Papu' Gómez reappeared after the ankle operation that he had a couple of weeks ago.
