The Argentine team started the World Cup in Qatar on the right foot, with a goal included by Lionel Messi against Saudi Arabia. However, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) experienced an atypical situation in the debut of the team led by Lionel Scaloni, since he was botched by the stadium.
Although thousands of Argentines came to Qatar, the proximity of Saudi Arabia also caused the massive arrival of its fans. In the first game of the Copa América champion, there were several green spots that at times eclipsed the atmosphere created by the Albiceleste fans.

The image of Lionel Messi that worried everyone, shortly before his World Cup debut
During a corner kick in favor of Argentina, Leo approached to execute the charge. To the surprise of many, there were blunders against the PSG striker, who took the lead against those from the Middle East. Public Television echoed the situation and the booing that there was towards the 'Flea'.
Messi, however, was not swayed by the booing, and scored the penalty without a second thought. A goal in the World Cup that serves to equal the mark of Cristiano Ronaldo, with 7 goals in the World Cups.
During the first half of the debut between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, the VAR intervened three times in plays by the Albiceleste. The referee's assistance made it possible to observe the foul against Leandro Paredes, prior to Leo's penalty. In addition, he canceled two goals from Scaloni's team, both due to millimeter forward positions.
