The definition of the quarterfinals between Argentina and the Netherlands was dramatic. The Dutch forced the Albiceleste to define the pass to the next round in the penalty shootout, where Emiliano Martínez was the figure. After the engagement, there were moments of tension, one of them starring Lionel Messi and Wout Weghorst, who referred to the encounter with the 'Flea'.

The captain of the Argentine team was the figure of the match against 'Clockwork Orange'. He gave a masterful assist and, in regulation time, scored a penalty. In addition, he silenced Louis van Gaal, who throughout the week belittled the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and the squad of the current Copa América champion.

While he was going to be interviewed by TyC Sports, he starred in one of the most impressive clips of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. He looked at someone behind the scenes and launched a phrase: "What are you looking at, stupid", to everyone's surprise in the press.

Later it was revealed on Social Media that the words were actually addressed to the striker Wout Weghorst, author of the two Dutch goals, who matched the two goals score led by Lionel Scaloni's squad from the beginning. 

The incredible version of the Netherlands striker:

Although in the images it was observed that during the game he provoked the Argentine players and attacked Lionel Messi in the middle of the field of play, in statements to the press in his country, Wout Weghorst stated: "I wanted to lend him a hand after a soccer game, but he didn't want to talk to me. My Spanish is not good, but they had no respectful words. It was really disappointing."
