This is the most embarrassing interview in Messi's career, where the host's sarcastic remarks provoked the anger of millions of fans!
So, what happened at that time? Let's go back to the summer of 2007 when the 20-year-old Messi came to China for an event.

Due to his outstanding performance at Barcelona, Messi was invited to appear on the "Mundo Leo"program.

At the beginning of the interview, the pace seemed normal, but then, in an attempt to gain attention and create excitement, the host deliberately focused on Messi's height multiple times.

It's well known that Messi has a rare condition called growth hormone deficiency, which almost jeopardized his career. Height has been a lifelong issue for him, and there's a saying, "Don't hit someone's face; don't expose their shortcomings."

As a professional host, the host continued to dwell on the height topic. Messi, feeling uncomfortable, could only smile awkwardly, but the host persisted. They even went as far as comparing their heights to Messi's, until Messi's brother expressed his dissatisfaction from the audience. Only then did the host reluctantly move on from the topic.

After this segment aired, it received criticism from millions of fans. Today, the once inexperienced Messi has become a football legend, while the ""professional"" host has gradually disappeared from the public eye.

What are your thoughts on this incident?

It can only be said that the host lacked professionalism.

I agree, Messi has certainly gone through a lot of experiences and has already proven himself as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
