Al-Marsad Sports: The pioneers of social networking sites in the world shared a video clip of Argentine legend Lionel Messi, scoring a goal in an “unsportsmanlike” way, during a friendly match for his country’s national team against Estonia.

Messi scored his fourth goal in the 71st minute, at a time when some Estonian players stopped playing, and waited for Messi to follow them in turn to give the medical staff an opportunity to aid one of the Argentine players who was fallen on the ground, but the “flea” did not turn to anyone and continued his way towards the goal and evaded the goalkeeper. Before he puts the ball quietly into the net.
Reactions to Messi’s behavior varied, between those who believed that the Argentine star did not pay attention to what was happening around him before scoring the goal, and those who considered what the best player in the world had done seven times as “immoral” and did not reflect any sportsmanship.
