Lionel Messi snubs Argentina parade as he flies home separately from disgraced team-mates

Following Argentina's 1-0 World Cup final loss to Spain, most of the national team participated in an open-top bus parade in Buenos Aires after returning from the tournament. However, 11 players, including Lionel Messi, chose not to join the event. Messi returned to Argentina separately from his teammates, arriving in Rosario after a stop in Miami. The team's performance was criticized for poor discipline, with several players facing backlash for unsportsmanlike conduct during the match. While 15 players received a hero's welcome upon returning to Buenos Aires, Messi opted to rest with his family rather than participate in the celebration.
