Lionel Messi’s reaction following Argentina’s defeat to Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup was caught on camera, with fans questioning the superstar’s slouched posture.

However, Saudi Arabia pulled off a stunning turnaround in a 10-minute period after the break, with Saleh Al Shehri and Salem Al Dawsari finding the net in wild scenes.
Argentina, of course, lifted the infamous Jules Rimet trophy after beating France on penalties in a thrilling final, a match in which Messi scored twice.

But before the joy came the misery, epitomized by Messi’s utter disbelief after the first match, and social media users have analyzed his reaction full-time.
However, their main conclusion seems to have been the poor posture of the talisman.
“That’s the worst posture I’ve ever seen in my life,” said one X user. —But it’s still the GOAT.
Another wrote: ‘The best player in the world has this stance. Make of that what you will.
“I have the same stance as one of the greatest athletes of all time,” added a third.
A fourth then used the posture for personal inspiration, saying: “I no longer hear anyone telling me if I have bad posture if Messi sits like that.”
‘Look how he’s sitting. “His posture is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life,” a fifth posted.
‘It’s kind of crazy how this guy is the undisputed GOAT of the sport. That’s why I say he’s a natural talent and that’s how we like him.
‘The bums work on their posture. Geniuses don’t need that shit.”
