Lionel Messi is really sick of Argentina fans

To Barcelona fans, Lionel Messi is a god, and unquestionably the greatest player in the history of soccer. To Argentina fans, he’s a really dang good player who’s failed to live up to Diego Maradona’s standards. Even though Maradona had to cheat to win a quarterfinal at home, but whatever. That’s not the point. The point is Messi has haters and he’s really sick of them.

“I get annoyed when they tell us put in more effort, you don’t feel the shirt,” Messi said in an interview with TyC Sports. “We were lucky enough to get to the final of the World Cup and the Copa America and it seems like we didn’t do anything. We got to two finals, for f--k’s sake.”

Messi went on to say that he now refuses to sing the national anthem on purpose because of one time when he got criticized for not singing it. Barca fans seem way more fun than Argentina fans.
