Julio Garro, Argentina’s undersecretary of sport, said on Argentine radio that national team captain Lionel Messi and Argentinian Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia should apologize.
That prompted the country’s president, Javier Milei, to sack Garro.
“For this reason, Julio Garro ceases to be undersecretary of sports of the nation.”However, Garro later “categorically denied” asking Messi to apologize.
In a separate post, Garro went on to thank Milei for letting him be part of his team.
In his apology, Fernández said he was “caught up in the euphoria,” but Lloris insisted this was no excuse.
