Journalist Alan Gordon reported that Messi, during the argument, threatened De la Vega:

“You will never play for the national team while I’m there.” He essentially excluded him right on the pitch. It was quite disgraceful,” Gordon noted on the Major League Journeyman podcast.

Pedro de la Vega previously played for Lanús in Argentina and was part of the youth and Olympic teams.
