What Messi said about the spit
For his part, post-match, Leo was also consulted about the spit, and he said that at no time did he realize the situation: “The truth is that I didn’t see him. They told me there in the locker room that they had spat on me, I don’t even know who he is, I don’t know who this guy is. I didn’t see it but I don’t want to give it importance either, otherwise now they are going to go out and talk everywhere and it’s worse, it becomes known. Better to leave it there.”
