The Argentine star won his eighth Ballon d’Or and had a funny exchange with the Spanish streamer on the red carpet.
After winning his eighth Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi had a fun encounter with streamer Ibai Llanos. On the red carpet, from his house, the Spaniard congratulated the Argentine soccer player and was surprised to hear his response: “Thank you, but I’m still very angry with you for what you did the other day.“he noted.
Baffled by the accusation of MessiIbai asked why he had gotten angry and the Inter Miami player expressed that he did not like that he had shared one of his messages on a stream: “You sent messages and read them in public. I’m not going to answer you anymore now.“he said with a laugh.
The streamer defended himself and assured that later “he erased them and pixelated it“, although the answer was not enough for Messi who insisted: “I’m not going to answer you anymore because you make everything public.. You have no privacy“.
Finally, he reiterated: “You have no privacy. I answered you in a good way. You didn’t show the message but you said what I had told you. Next time I won’t answer you again, I’ll stare at you“.
Why did Messi get angry with Ibai?
The Argentine’s reaction arose from a situation that had occurred a few days ago in the middle of a Twitch broadcast by Ibai Llanos.
“I spoke to him several times before and asked him about his injury. It makes me a little embarrassed because it seems a little strange to me because he will ask me why are you telling me this?… I had previously asked him about his injury in Paris,” the streamer told his audience.
“Hello Lionel, I hope you are recovering from your injury, I send you a big hug,” Ibai wrote to Messi, who quickly replied: “Hello Ibai, thank you very much! A hug“. The video quickly went viral and reached the streamer’s millions of followers.
