🚨A plot to assassinate Lionel Messi during the World Cup has been revealed. 😱🇦🇷

A US police report has revealed that Lionel Messi was the player who received the most threats during the 2026 World Cup, including an alleged threat of a su***de attack.

Before Argentina’s group-stage match against Jordan, a man reportedly called Dallas airport and threatened to enter the stadium with two others carrying weapons and homemade explosives, specifically mentioning Messi as a target.

Similar threats were made before Argentina’s Round of 16 match against Egypt. Police also received a separate bomb threat claiming explosives had been placed inside stadium bins. Authorities searched the stadium with explosive-detection dogs and found no bombs, confirming it was a false alarm.
