Weghorst Gives His Side Of Heated Exchange After Argentina Dump The Netherlands Out Of The World Cup

Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst has given his side of the heated post-match exchange between himself and Lionel Messi.

The Netherlands’ defeat to Argentina was feisty at best with a record 18 yellow cards being shown. There were a number of flashpoints, most notably during the second-half when Leandro Paredes smashed the ball into the Dutch dugout. Players clashed at full-time, after penalties and even in the tunnel with Messi having some choice words for the big striker.

Speaking to Gol soon after the altercation, the striker explained his version of events: “I went to shake his hand after the game. He has not accepted it and has said something rude to me, but I do not understand Spanish very well. I’m very disappointed.”

Emotions were clearly running high for the Netherlands and Weghorst himself, having experienced the jubilation of netting a 101st-minute equaliser only to be knocked out via the lottery of a penalty shootout soon after.
