Fresh footage of Lionel Messi and Manchester United's Wout Weghorst row emerges

A World Cup row between Lionel Messi and now Manchester United loanee Wout Weghorst has again returned to the fore as fresh footage of their altercation has resurfaced.

The incident happened inside the bowels of the Lusail Stadium after Argentina knocked the Netherlands out in the quarter-finals following a penalty shootout. Messi had put the World Cup winners 2-0 up during the second half before substitute Weghorst scored two late goals to take the game to extra time.

Argentina's captain would have the last laugh by scoring the opening penalty of the shootout as Holland missed the first two they took to decide the tempestuous match featuring 14 yellow cards and one red. Tempers also flared in the tunnel as Messi had some choice words for the soon-to-be United striker.
