Bolivia physio ‘receives insults and threats’ after furious row with Messi following Argentina victory

Being Argentinian himself, he isn’t holding a grudge against Messi over the insults either: “As a supporter of the [Argentina] national team, there’s no one bigger than him. He is No. 1. My son’s middle name is Lionel because of him.”

Messi is La Albiceleste’s record goalscorer, having found the net 71 times in an Argentina shirt. He also has 140 caps for his country and needs just seven more to equal Javier Mascherano’s record.

Argentina came from behind to win 2-1 on Tuesday courtesy of goals from Lautaro Martinez and Joaquin Correa, after Moreno had fired the hosts in front at the Estadio Hernando Siles, which sits roughly 3,600 meters above sea level.
