The newspaper "dailysports" reported that Messi's legal office announced it had begun taking legal action against Argentine media outlets that violated his family's privacy during the funeral of the father of the Inter Miami star.
It added that some media outlets exceeded the limits in covering the funeral, and now they will be held accountable by Messi himself.
The newspaper clarified that Messi returned to Miami again, immediately after the end of his father's funeral.
The newspaper concluded by saying that this is not the first time a clash has occurred between Messi and Argentine media, as it was rumored that Messi's father died during the World Cup, which Argentine national team coach Lionel Scaloni himself denied all these claims, before Messi's family came out demanding some humanity from the media.
