What I said to Messi during confrontation – Bellingham

England midfielder Jude Bellingham downplayed his heated exchange with Lionel Messi during the World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina, saying it was simply a discussion over a foul. Bellingham said he told Messi: 'You are strong enough to take it, you know what I mean'. England lost 2-1, ending their campaign. Bellingham called it a privilege to play against Messi, who led Argentina to the final against Spain.
