"I wanted to give Messi a hand after the match. But he smashed my hand away and didn't want to speak with me. My Spanish is not good, but they were not respectful words. So it was really disappointing" - the Netherlands' Wout Weghorsts told press after Leo called him "dummy" in the tunnel.
"Look at him trying to play victim. He shoved Messi after scoring his first goal and was shit talking all the Argentine penalty takers. Enjoy your flight home bobo" - some fan on Twitter replied.
To add some context, a footage has emerged of the Dutch players trying to put off the Argentina stars before they took their penalties.
Weghorst appeared to wait for Enzo Fernandez on the edge of the box after the Dutchman took his penalty, then walked directly up to Fernandez, who missed his spot-kick.
He also tried to unsettle Lautaro before the latter scored the winning goal.
The Dutch went on to lose the shootout - and fans reckoned they got what was coming to them for their mind games.
