So he was injured but refused to be subbed and didn't want to shake his manager's hand who took him off to protect him a.k.a doing a manager's job.
This is the person that his fanboys worship like a god.

Did he have a wrist problem too? I heard he didn't shake his hand or something?Messi was clutching his knee a few minutes before being subbed which was why Poch subbed him in the first place.
It was reported a few days agoHas Poch been told not to sub him off again unless Messi is OK with it, and that whole narrative about the knee injury a smokescreen? Seems a tad strange to only talk about that now, given Messi's reaction to being subbed.
Nah, you’re mistaking him for someone else mate:Did he have a wrist problem too? I heard he didn't shake his hand or something?
No, he didn’t know the extent of the injury at the time and was passed he was subbed off. At the end of the day Poch was right to take him offSo he was injured but refused to be subbed and didn't want to shake his manager's hand who took him off to protect him a.k.a doing a manager's job.

I know you are one of the biggest Messi fanboys so I'm not surprised you say this. Love is blind in this case.Oh and by the way, Messi was clearly the best player at WC 2014 alongside Arjen Robben. Everybody who says something different hasn't watched him play or doesn't understand what he's talking about.Give him another face and another name and literally nobody would question that it was deserved.
Huh what? Now Poch is a doctor with X-ray eyes?No, he didn’t know the extent of the injury at the time and was passed he was subbed off. At the end of the day Poch was right to take him off
Hilarious the lengths that people will go to, to defend the indefensible. There's no situation here in which that snub was anything other than childish and disrespectful. As you say, it's not like Messi could have been unaware of his injury while those on the sidelines were aware. He had his pride hurt and threw a strop.Huh what? Now Poch is a doctor with X-ray eyes?
Poch's decision was either
Strategic - Which resulted in Messi getting pissed off and refusing to shake hands. But PSG won eventually. So in some way Poch was vindicated.
or
Medical - Which means Messi knew that his knees were not allowing him to continue and Poch was right to sub him. So it was a d*ck move from Messi to not shake hands.
There is no logical scenario where Poch knows how injured Messi is while Messi does not feel a thing.
Fanboy yada, yada. Thing is, apply the same standards you applied to Messi and every player in the tournament was a disappointment.I know you are one of the biggest Messi fanboys so I'm not surprised you say this. Love is blind in this case.
Messi was pretty good in the group stage but he was invisible in the quarter-finals, semi-finals against the Netherlands (did he play?) and the final against Germany. He played total hide and seek and he really disappointed me at that World Cup.
Wrong on all accounts. Messi was grabbing his knee. And then he continued to play on a minute or two afterward. Then Poch subbed him off and after the match said that he took Messi off as a precautionary. Messi felt he was fine to continue to play but after the match they did find a bone contusion. It was a misunderstanding but Poch was right to take him off. Perhaps adrenaline made messi feel he could have continued playing. We’ve seen plenty of players be pissed off at being subbed off.Huh what? Now Poch is a doctor with X-ray eyes?

Imagine thinking this is even remotely what is happening considering he’s hit the woodwork 3 times already and about to win another ballon d’orImagine if PSG gave Messi the biggest contract in the sport and it turns out his body can't handle the game at the top level anymore? It would be hilarious.
Of course, his Qatari masters will make sure of that.Imagine thinking this is even remotely what is happening considering he’s hit the woodwork 3 times already and about to win another ballon d’or
Moronic take, was already ballon d’or favourite prior to signing with psgOf course, his Qatari masters will make sure of that.
did you watched the any of those games?I know you are one of the biggest Messi fanboys so I'm not surprised you say this. Love is blind in this case.

BS considering other footballers are the highest paid in their respective league’s history.Big mistake going to PSG. He's lost a bit of credibility in my eyes. Thought he was a 'football man' and would put the before his bank balance.
Definitely a black mark against him.
Then he should have done more to help barca when covid started. Destroyed them financially then left for PSG in the first chance.Big mistake going to PSG. He's lost a bit of credibility in my eyes. Thought he was a 'football man' and would put the before his bank balance.
Definitely a black mark against him.
He lost credibility by trying to stay at the shit show of a club in Spain then pretend he moved for CL glory despite trying to stay at a side worse than Spurs.Big mistake going to PSG. He's lost a bit of credibility in my eyes. Thought he was a 'football man' and would put the before his bank balance.
Definitely a black mark against him.
There is also the possibility of adrenaline and body temperature allowing players to continue playing despite feeling a little pain during games but once they rest, a few hours later then they realize they have an actual injury and something not to worsen by playing too soon.Huh what? Now Poch is a doctor with X-ray eyes?

He got MoTM in R16. He broke the record for most completed dribbles in a WC game. He went on a solo run from the middle of the pitch in extra time to assist Di Maria on a plate. Is that not pretty good?I know you are one of the biggest Messi fanboys so I'm not surprised you say this. Love is blind in this case.

Get your pom poms outBS considering other footballers are the highest paid in their respective league’s history.
it’s about CL
I understand all that. But I somehow don't feel it is right that Messi believed that he was ok to continue, but Poch unilaterally took a decision to take him off. Usually managers have a word with their players and then decide to take them off.There is also the possibility of adrenaline and body temperature allowing players to continue playing despite feeling a little pain during games but once they rest, a few hours later then they realize they have an actual injury and something not to worsen by playing too soon.
Poch didn't know the full extent of the injury and just wanted to take precautions with such an important asset for the club
Nah, you Can find TONS of highlights of footballers getting mad at being subbed off but keep pushing your bs narrativeGet your pom poms out
Are your feelings hurt, sweetheart? Poor little baby.Moronic take, was already ballon d’or favourite prior to signing with psg
Not this time though, french sideline reporters said Poch decided it on his own. Otherwise Messi wouldn't have reacted like thatI understand all that. But I somehow don't feel it is right that Messi believed that he was ok to continue, but Poch unilaterally took a decision to take him off.

Not sure what you sought to achieve here but he literally shakes hands or low five's every single person when being subbed off.Nah, you’re mistaking him for someone else mate:

I don't know what you are talking about. I've not mentioned him being subbed off. I said I don't think he's made the right move to PSG.Nah, you Can find TONS of highlights of footballers getting mad at being subbed off but keep pushing your bs narrative
My fault, you’re rightI don't know what you are talking about. I've not mentioned him being subbed off. I said I don't think he's made the right move to PSG.
