Sanabria denies spitting at Messi

During Argentina’s 1-0 win over Paraguay in the World Cup Qualifiers, it appeared that Paraguay player Antonio Sanabria spit at Lionel Messi. However, Sanabria denied doing so, saying that it was just the angle of the camera.

“I saw the picture and it looks like I spit at him, but not at all. He was far away,” said Sanabria. “As you can see it from behind, it looks like I spit at him, but not at all.”
