Lionel Messi thinks that the incidents at the start of the qualifying match between Brazil and Argentina could have caused a real tragedy if the situation had not calmed down in time.
The police blamed the friendly fans for starting the violence in the "Maracan" stadium, but the Argentine says that only the family members and relatives of the players were there.
Pleshti and his teammates tried to calm the situation and even clashed with the police, before going to the dressing room with the decision of the chief referee.
"It was a very serious situation as we were seeing people being beaten with rubber sticks", said the 36-year-old, world champion.
As for statistics, Argentina won the match against Brazil with the result 0-1 after a delay that lasted for more than 30 minutes. (A2 Televizion)
