A viral video circulating a day after the FIFA World Cup 2026 final shows Lionel Messi speaking to his Argentina teammates. According to NDTV, the match ended with Argentina losing to Spain. In the video, Messi appears to deliver a short pre-match message that includes the line “forget about everything” (or “forget everything”). NDTV reports that Alexis Mac Allister, a teammate of Messi, later provides context for the remark through explanations connected to his family. The outlet frames the comments as part of Argentina’s internal messaging rather than an official statement, emphasizing that supporters began sharing the clip widely after the final. Across the available information, the key points are that Messi’s brief words to teammates are identified as the origin of the viral phrase, and that Mac Allister’s account is presented as the background to what it meant to the team before the game. The reports do not add further detail from official FIFA or team communications beyond the discussion of the viral clip and the reported explanation following the match.
