Yeferson Soteldo's recent live broadcast has reignited a controversy surrounding his on-field altercation with Lionel Messi during a qualifying match between Venezuela and Argentina. The Venezuelan player's comments have sparked intense debate on social media, dividing fans and bringing the incident back into the spotlight.
During the match, which ended in a draw, Messi and Soteldo were involved in a heated exchange that was captured on camera. Although the situation did not escalate further at the time, Soteldo's recent comments have revived the controversy.
In his live broadcast, the Venezuelan player responded to questions from his followers about the incident with Messi. With an ironic smile, Soteldo stated that Messi "thinks I was born in the 'El Muertico' neighborhood," an apparent reference to a low-income area. Additionally, when asked what he had said to Messi, Soteldo replied, "I gestured for him to be serious. He was the one who couldn't stop talking."
These statements have not been well-received by Venezuelan fans, who have expressed their discontent on social media. Many consider Soteldo's words to be disrespectful towards Messi and the Venezuelan national team.
Comments on social media have been mixed, but mostly critical of Soteldo. Some of the most prominent comments include:
