5 unjustified reasons why Lionel Messi is disliked by some people

#4 His fans

This is one of the more genuine reasons why the man is hated by some. The magnitude of the former Argentina captain is so great that even the smallest of his achievements is blown out of proportions by some of his fans.

Some of his ardent fans often forget that there is a world apart from the diminutive Argentine. For them, the earth doesn’t rotate around the Sun. Instead, the Sun rotates around Lionel Messi.

It is this blind worship that makes the others feel a little awkward. From this, an irrational dislike is born, which goes on to become hate.
