Lionel Messi’s Doctor Wants Argentina To Lose All Of Their World Cup Matches

Believe it or not, Lionel Messi’s doctor, who has also been his friend for years, is praying for Argentina’s downfall in what looks like Messi’s last World Cup tournament ever.

Diego Schwarzstein, who was Messi’s doctor before he even moved to Europe more than 2 decades ago, has come out to say he wants Argentina to lose all their group games at the ongoing World Cup tournament in Qatar.

Schwarzstein treated Messi when the footballer was first diagnosed with a Growth Hormone Deficiency back when he was still a child. So, it is partially thanks to the attention Messi got from Schwarzstein early in his life that the former Barcelona captain has a career today. And what a career that turned out to be, too!

And Messi knew he owed his doctor a lot, and that’s why, before he left Argentina for Spain in 2000, he sent Schwarzstein his Newell’s Old Boys’ shirt with a note which said “for Diego. With love from Leo Messi.”

The pair remained close even after Messi moved to Barcelona. But how come Schwarzstein is now wishing for Messi’s downfall? Did something go wrong with their relationship?
