Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, allegedly told the national team manager, Jorge Sampaoli, to drop two players during his nation’s poor 2018 World Cup campaign.
Clarin reports that these two players were Federico Fazio and Giovani Lo Celso.
Messi, who has a huge influence in both Argentina and Barcelona, felt both players were underperforming.
The South Americans kick-started their campaign with a 1-1 draw, before they were beaten 3-0 by Croatia.
They, however, scrapped into the last 16 of the competition, thanks to a 2-1 win over Nigeria in their final group game, but were dumped out by France.
Messi reportedly told Argentina manager, Sampaoli to drop two players he believed to be underperforming.
