Father of Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo takes aim at Messi

The father of Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes has taken aim at Leo Messi.

Eric Goes highlighted on social media how Messi grabbed his son around the neck before Argentina's World Cup qualifying win against Brazil just days after he did the same with Uruguay's Mathias Olivera.

Eric posted: "The saint who does not get into trouble with anyone ... Is anyone really surprised?"

Since the clash with Messi, Rodrygo has been forced to close down his social media comments due to the abuse he has been receiving.
