2<\/span>2025 was a year full of achievements for Lionel Messi. From being named MLS MVP for the second time to enjoying a major milestone with Inter Miami, everything seemed to be going well. His ‘GOAT India Tour 2025’ also allowed him to connect with fans and players.<\/p>\nBut recently, a clip was released showing a preview of the interview with host Nico Occhiato, which quickly went viral and sparked a lot of controversy. In it, Messi answers unexpected questions, such as “Leo, does sex make you use a refrigerator?” with his unique sense of humour. He then sarcastically added, “Doki Doki, or new doki?” and then added, “Stop, seriously, are you going to talk about this crap? Is that what you came all the way here for?”, making it clear that it wasn’t a serious moment, but a fun, light-hearted one.<\/p>\n

Others interpreted his response as rude.<\/p>\n
Humor or not?<\/h2>\n In reality, there is no contradiction behind these images. Messi looked relaxed and carefree, making it clear that it was all part of the natural humor of the interview.<\/p>\n
This moment shows that Messi knows how to adapt and have fun with his environment, and that there was a playful touch to the interview that he did perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
