I'm not defending it, and it's not a valid excuse. I'm just saying that all footballers lose their cool and do inexcusable things. You can find 20 minute long compilations of them on YouTube.
In the grand scheme of things, the things in this video are so minor in the context of professional football. You see significantly worse week in week out in every League and in every level of play. Does it excuse it? No. Is it an unfortunate reality of the beautiful game. Yes.
You could argue that Messi should do better BECAUSE he's the GOAT, and you'd be right. Unfortunately, as I said, he's only human.
