Lisandro Martinez's Instagram account hacked; Lionel Messi troll photo posted

Martinez later recovered his account which he confirmed via his social media handle.

Lisandro Martinez’s Instagram profile was hacked late on Tuesday evening. The hacker posted a narrative with a picture of Lionel Messi holding a Ballon d’Or while wearing a mask.

The ‘I’m sorry my account was taken’ post went viral on social media and caused a great deal of uncertainty. The most widely circulated theory holds that Messi “stole” several of his Ballon d’Or honours.

However, the defender later recovered his account and posted an apology on his Instagram story. It was a strange situation that occurred which also put the fans in confusion as Martinez is a teammate of Messi in the national team.

Things came to normal after he revealed what happened. Later he made it clear on his next story on Instagram, otherwise, fans would have assumed that he might be taking a jibe at his compatriot.

Martinez has been on leave following his part in Argentina’s Copa America final victory over Colombia. Because of his vacation, he hasn’t taken part in any pre-season games as Manchester United tours.

Due to injuries, the defender has had a difficult time playing in England for United, appearing in just 14 games in all competitions in the previous season.

Martinez made a vital comeback for Manchester United’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester City despite his ongoing injury problems.

While Manchester United are scheduled to play Fulham FC in their season opener at Old Trafford, Martinez intends to make a comeback in time for their August 10 Community Shield matchup against Manchester City.

Since joining the team from Ajax, the Argentinean player has been crucial for them at the back. His presence has been key for Erik ten Hag to build the game from the back.

Hopefully next season he will be injury-free and aims to make United a title contenders side alongside other players.
