World Cup 2026: Obi Mikel raises questions about Lionel Messi

Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has raised questions about Argentina captain, Lionel Messi.

The former Nigerian international was speaking after Messi led Argentina to beat Egypt 3-2 in a World Cup Round of 16 encounter on Tuesday.

Speaking on Fox Sports, Mikel wondered what Messi eats.

“Argentina is coming through yet another difficult game, where they have been pushed to the limit. How much has Messi played, how much has been taken away from him mentally, psychologically, physically as well,” Obi Mikel said.

“That’s going to be the question as well, how much can he give again to be able to drag this Argentina team yet again to another semi-final.

“That’s going to be the question, but when you have Messi, I don’t know what the guy eats. I don’t know what he eats because every time you think it is finished, he comes up with something spectacular.”

2026 World Cup: Egypt drag Argentina before FIFA after 3-2 defeat

Egypt have submitted an official complaint to FIFA about the refereeing decisions during their last-16 tie against Argentina.

They have also demanded that the world football governing body removes referee Francois Letexier, who took charge of the game, from the remainder of the World Cup.

The Pharoahs’ coach, Hossam Hassan, had accused Letexier of being “unfair” and claimed the competition was “directed towards Argentina” following their dramatic 3-2 defeat.

Argentina scored three goals within 13 minutes to set up a quarter-final clash with Switzerland.

However, their late winner was marred by controversy, after Hassan claimed his team was denied a penalty moments before Julian Alvarez started the counter-attack, which led to Enzo Fernandez’s 92nd-minute header.
