The agonizing triumph of Argentina over the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar left us a string of images that will go down in the history of the competition: Leo Messi holding his hands over his ears after scoring a goal, the constant confrontations between the two teams, the tension in the penalty shootout and the famous appointment of the Argentine '10' after the match ended.
Messi's viral anger. While attending the press in his country to testify about the match, Messi glimpsed that the Dutch striker, Wout Weghorst, was waiting for him. The captain of the albiceleste interrupted the interview to release a couple of phrases that would end up being the talk of social networks: "What are you looking at, stupid? Go there, stupid."
A Christmas carol. The phrase quickly became a phenomenon on Twitter and TikTok. Users did not take long to start the meme machinery, but where Messi's anger has also hit hard is in music, since several producers have taken advantage of his famous quote to create new musical pieces.
The YouTube channel 'Músicos Cínicos' have been one of those who have remastered the words of Argentine crack to create an amazing jingle bell rock.
In numbers. The YouTube channel accumulates more than 2.24 million subscribers and at the moment the video exceeds 165,000 views in just one day. Also, it has garnered a good number of user feedback.
Top comments. "I call this 'Christmas spirit'. Applause for the cynical musicians", "I'll play the song at Christmas to see my family's reaction" or "Great words from our captain", have been some of the most applauded comments from the post.
Electronic remixes. This Christmas carol has not been the only version, far from it, that has been created as a result of Messi's phrase. In fact, the genre that has gotten the most out of the theme has been electronic music, as we can see in the following examples.
