Over the years, Lionel Messi has been known for his quiet demeanor on the pitch. However, the icon has reached the latter stage of his career, turning on a diverse range of emotions. It was at the 2022 FIFA World Cup that the world witnessed him turn hot under the collar when he celebrated with an angry gesture towards Louis van Gaal. His best pal, Luis Suarez, reveals one thing that regularly provokes the Argentine captain, saying, “It’s hot for him to lose.”

Who’s better than Suarez to provide information about the 8x Ballon d’Or winner? The bond between the two goes so well that the players still hang out even after being continents apart for years. Anyway, after heaping praise on the star, Suarez was forced to spill the beans on Messi’s anger issues.

The teammates of Lionel Messi hardly get to see him behave rudely. However, having spent six years with him at FC Barcelona, Suarez revealed that losing games spikes the Inter Miami captain’s temper. Speaking on the La Mesa podcast, Suarez said, “It’s hot for him to lose little games in football and in training. Maybe he’s losing at soccer, tennis, and he gets hot. If you eat (annoy) him, he gets angry. But then get ready, because he eats you every time.” Fans in the last year or so have gotten a glimpse of his temper when it comes to matches.

Meanwhile, the Uruguayan says that knowing how to behave with Messi is the reason for their long-lasting friendship. He also said, “You get along so well that you know him, and you know that when he’s in a bad mood, don’t even go near him. I’m not a j*rk, either.
