@dailymailsport: Lionel Messi was caught in a heated exchange with referee Joao Pinheiro during Argentina’s controversial World Cup quarter-final win over Switzerland. The Argentina captain was heard telling the Portuguese official to “speak to me with respect” during a tense first-half confrontation in the 3-1 victory, which sent the world champions into the semi-finals. #messi #referee #lionelmessi #argentina #worldcup

He said "Speak to me with respect, don't disrespect me, because I also speak to you with respect." Why didn't you include the part where he told the referee that he's also speaking to the referee with respect. This is how you pass incomplete information to suit your narrative.
