Facundo Medina’s humor was obviously not shared by everyone… In a live Twitch from the Son Aviones channel, the Argentinian defender of Lens had slipped into the field of jokes before the trip to the Parc des Princes against the PSG, Saturday April 15 at 9 p.m. “For me, it’s difficult to mark Leo (Editor’s note: his compatriot Messi) because I’m afraid of hurting him, breathed the artesian central back. If he passes me and escapes, I grab him and kiss him asking him to give me a hug. »
No feeling, however, for the serial scorer of PSG Kylian Mbappé. “He too is difficult to score, but you know me…, smiled Facundo mischievously. If Mbappé passes me, an ambulance will have to come and pick him up…”
The joke obviously sounded the sirens of bad taste. So much so that the Albiceleste international had to split a post on Instagram to put an end to the emerging controversy.
“On my statements in a program in Argentina, I wanted to clarify that it was a comment made in fun and taken out of context, which was obviously not appropriate, he wrote, adding a photo of his opponent to his text in Spanish and French. I would never act this way with a colleague, let alone with someone I respect, because it does not reflect my values as a person and as a professional. My most sincere apologies for this misunderstanding. »
