Messi reacts as VAR denies Argentina a draw against Morocco
In response to the incident, senior team captain Lionel Messi took to Instagram and shared a narrative titled "Insolito."

The Spanish term "insolito" means "unusual" or "uncommon" in English.
Messi, who recently helped Argentina win the Copa America 2024, is not included in the Olympic roster since the U-23 squad can only have three senior players: Julian Alvarez, Nicolas Otamendi, and Geronimo Rulli.

The match, which many believed to be over, was suspended, and it took the VAR more than an hour to render a verdict.
Lionel Messi and his thousands of supporters couldn't believe it because of this, hence his reaction.
