It’s a gesture he would no doubt have hoped would remain discreet. Unfortunately for Manuel Ugarte, today there are enough cameras around a football field that little escapes the eye of viewers.
Friday, while Uruguay beat Argentina (0-2) in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder notably clashed with Rodrigo De Paul during a tense moment general, following a foul on Leo Messi. He then mimed, showing the number 10 of the Albiceleste, a fellatio, a gesture which leaves little room for interpretation to ironically characterize the relationship between De Paul and Messi.

Before taking the plane to return to Paris this Tuesday, since he is suspended for Uruguay’s next match against Bolivia on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Manuel Ugarte returned to this sequence on the microphone of Uruguayan radio Sport 890. “When I was told that one of my actions had gone viral, I didn’t understand anything,” he said. Then I saw him and I wanted to die. It’s not good. »
“I said to myself: I am an animal! »
“At the time, I didn’t really realize it, I probably did it without realizing it,” he continued. When I was told it had gone viral, I didn’t even remember what I had done. Then I saw the gesture again and I said to myself: I’m an animal! Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, I do things I shouldn’t do. I haven’t spoken to him (to De Paul), but obviously I want to apologize to him because it’s something that went viral, but like he said, it has to stay on the field.
In line with his start to the season at PSG, Ugarte produced a match full of authority in midfield and largely contributed to his team’s victory. “I always like to play on the razor’s edge,” he says again. It was a historic match. Bielsa asked me to watch Messi in my area and be attentive to player changes. You had to pay attention to every detail. Messi, who if you don’t take care of him, he will pillory you. The level of concentration had to be maximum. »
