No worries! The suspected reason behind Messi's tears after scoring revealed: His father's health issues worsened this week.

On June 17 Beijing time, Argentine journalist Eduardo Feinmann talked on Radio Mitre about why Messi cried on the World Cup field, suggesting it was related to his father's health condition.

In the first match of Group J of the World Cup group stage, Argentina beat Algeria 3-0, securing their first opening victory in 12 years. In this game, 38-year-old Argentine captain Messi scored a hat-trick. Notably, after netting the first goal, Messi lost control of his emotions, shed tears, and wiped them with his jersey, which sparked widespread discussion.{[:3 discussion.

In his post-match interview explanation for crying after scoring, Messi only stated it was entirely unrelated to football and said he had been through a tough and complicated period, thanking his teammates and coaches for their support and encouragement.

The journalist claimed Messi was worried about his father’s health: "His father, Jorge Messi, is not in good health. It has been going on for a while, (probably) several months, since last year, his father's health has been problematic."

"Andthis week, certain circumstances occurred that slightly worsened his health condition. Meanwhile, while competing in the World Cup with Argentina, Messi is unable to accompany his father due to the tournament, causing him to endure this inner torment he is enduring. Yes, psychologically (affected). Yet despite that, Messi still plays divinely."

The Argentine radio station and the journalist each have over a million followers on social media, thus they hold considerable credibility.

Born on January 1, 1958, Jorge Messi is now 68 years old and has four children, with Messi being his third son.
