- The PSG player is annoyed with the Argentine’s behaviour on the pitch.
- According to Silva, Messi always pressures the referees into giving him free-kicks in dangerous situations and tries to control their decisions overall.
- This doesn’t happen in the Champions League because the officials are tougher there, says Thiago.
- The Brazilian also disliked the way Messi spoke with Tite, telling him to shut up.
Paris Saint Germain defender and Brazil international Thiago Silva was furious with Lionel Messi throughout the match against Argentina. The stopper disliked the way our player talked to the referees and supposedly wanted to control the match.
“He wanted to rule over the game. He kicked two people and the referee did nothing. I argued with the ref and he kept laughing. You have to put admiration to one side,” said Silva.
“He always looks to force the referee to give them free-kicks in dangerous areas, he always acts in that way. We spoke with some players who play in Spain and the same thing happens, he looks to control the game and the referee’s decisions.

“In the Champions League, he doesn’t have that advantage because the referees are tougher. You don’t see him trying to rule so much. There are referees that, because of their admiration for him, start to weigh in on his side. That we didn’t have Neymar on our side was a disadvantage.”
Do you think Silva is simply trying to justify Brazil’s defeat?
