Bashir Ahmad Questions Messi’s Reaction to Benin Player’s Selfie Request
Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has criticised Lionel Messi after a Benin player appeared to ask for a selfie following Argentina’s 3–0 win over Benin. Messi scored once and provided two assists in the match. After full time, he shook hands with Benin’s players but appeared unwilling to pose for a photograph as he took in the moment on the pitch. A Benin official reportedly stepped in and asked the player to move away. The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with some viewers questioning Messi’s response while others say he was entitled to his privacy.
