'It's like Messi doesn't care about his old black teammates'
Lionel Messi has been slammed for his silence on Argentina 's recent racism saga, with the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner accused of not caring about the black players he has previously played with in his career.
FIFA has since confirmed it has opened an investigation into the matter, but this did not prevent Argentina's vice-president Victoria Villarruel from blasting France and labelling them as"colonialists". "We've got to look at Messi and you say, you know what, Messi, come out," the ex-Chelsea and West Ham United marksman told"We need to hear you. I need you to come out. You've got to speak up about this. Because this is more than just Enzo. Messi is the main guy there. He's the captain. He needs to come out and say something about this behaviour.
