The legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke about Jordanian national team goalkeeper Yazid Abu Laila’s mistake against Messi, during the match between Argentina and Jordan in the 2026 World Cup, where Lionel Scaloni’s team won 1-3.
Zlatan acknowledged that goalkeeper Yazid Abu Laila could have performed better, but he explained that the analysis is completely different when it comes to Messi.
He explained: “A mistake may occur, and it may seem simple. The Jordanian goalkeeper should have performed better in Messi’s goal and flown with the ball, but since he was facing Messi, the matter is not bad for him at all.”
Ibrahimovic continued to praise Messi and said: “This is Messi’s true weight in this edition of the World Cup. At thirty-nine years old, he no longer needs to prove anything… Every time he appears, he shines and gives the match a beautiful and distinctive image.” (Erm News)
