Two-time World Cup winner Daniel Passarella, a center back on Argentina’s triumphant 1978 and 1986 squads, recently called out Lionel Messi for what he perceives to be a weakness in the captain’s leadership qualities: “The leader of the group is something different to the way you play and the talent of each player.

Watch This Goalie In The UAE Kick A Guy In The Back
This incident took place in the UAE Gulf League, and the keeper in question is named Ali Saqr.
