Lionel Messi told Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli to drop two players

Lionel Messi allegedly told Argentine boss Jorge Sampaoli to drop two players during his nation’s World Cup campaign. According to a report of Clarin, these two players were Federico Fazio and Giovani Lo Celso, who allegedly failed to impress the nation's best player. The South American nation kick-started their campaign out in Russia by drawing against Iceland before they were then thumped 3-0 by Croatia. Argentina scrapped into the last-16 of the competition thanks to a win over Nigeria, but were no match for France in the next stage.
