A group of 'shamans' cast a 'curse' on Lionel Messi so that he cannot score in the match against Peru.
On Tuesday, October 17, the Peruvian national team will face Argentina in the fourth day of the South American Qualifiers 2026. This confrontation is of great importance for Peru, as they have only achieved one point in their three previous appearances.
Although Lionel Messi is injured and could be absent in this 2026 Qualifiers match, this has not prevented a group of Peruvian shamans from shining by performing a 'ritual' to neutralize the Argentine forward in this crucial encounter.

As can be seen in a video shared on social media, some shamans used a photo of Lionel Messi and gave him 'whippings', so that he cannot play well in the match.
"We are blocking Messi's game. I hit him in the right thigh because I know he has an injury," says a shaman, who also performed a ritual for Paolo Guerrero to score in this match.
Reactions on X and Twitter were not lacking, and thousands of users lamented this event, as football is a fair competition and this kind of 'esoteric' practices should not have any influence on it. What do you think?
