As Messi's wife Antonella Roccuzzo was unable to be in Russia for the championship, she took to Instagram to cheer on her husband ahead of the game, having posted a picture of the couple's three-month-old son, with the caption, "#VamosPapi" -- meaning "#GoDaddy"
After a Croatian midfielder delivered the coup de grace with the third goal, handing Messi's team a shock 0-3 defeat, it immediately made furious Argentine fans shift to Antonella's post, reports Sputnik news agency.
Angry fans mocked the caption to the picture, with one writing, "Papi is a loser", while another user wrote that "Papi" would be coming home soon when Argentina get knocked out of the tournament.
"I hope you will tell Messi to play a better match against Nigeria," another person commented, referring to the upcoming third and final Group D game in St. Petersburg.
Meanwhile, many others voiced support for the family with kind words and wishes: "Go, Leo! Do it for your family!"
