Since starting his career in digital shorts, Messi has won thousands of different large and small awards. However, the Argentine player never imagined he would be honored for his angry attitude and harsh words towards famous streamer Ibai Llanos.
Two months ago, at the 2023 Golden Ball awards ceremony, Messi after winning had a rather tense conversation with Ibai Llanos on live air. The Argentine player scolded Ibai Llanos during a livestream with 700,000 viewers because he leaked messages between the two. Messi’s anger ended with the curse: “You bastard!”.
Messi and Ibai Llanos are longtime friends, so Messi’s anger was just a joke between the two. But this unusual conversation attracted special attention from fans. It was even nominated for the “Anger of the Year” category at the ESLAND awards ceremony for Spain’s top content creators.
ESLAND’s awards are chosen from fan votes. Since the beginning of this week, Messi fans can vote for Messi’s “curse” to help their idol win. The ESLAND awards ceremony will take place on February 16 and 17 in Andorra.
After a long vacation in Argentina, Messi returned to the US to prepare for the new season with Inter Miami. The Argentine star will have a notable friendly match with Ronaldo’s Al Nassr on February 1.
