Rodrigo De Paul vs Robert Lewandowski: “Who are you?” The heated confrontation between the Inter Miami midfielder and the Polish striker has sparked a huge debate after their clash against Chicago Fire.
What really happened between De Paul and Lewandowski? Why did De Paul bring up his two Copa América titles and World Cup? And was he really in a position to question one of the greatest goal scorers in football history?
In this video, Hercules Gomez breaks down the explosive exchange, De Paul’s comments, and the bigger debate surrounding their careers, achievements and status in the game.
Lewandowski has scored more than 600 career goals, won the Champions League, multiple domestic titles and major individual awards. De Paul, meanwhile, has been a key player for Argentina and part of the team that won the 2022 World Cup and back-to-back Copa América titles.
So when De Paul asked Lewandowski “Who are you?”, was it simply heat-of-the-moment football… or did he take things too far?
Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself.

It’s typical Argentine behavior.
That’s all Argentinian players for you. They think because they were gifted a World Cup, they’re better than everyone else. What a clown.
Funny how none of his teammates rushed to Lewy's defense. The MLS is an absolute circus, and the hacks cared more about the incident than the game simply because there's so little actual sport in that league.
good commenatry. Thanks, Yes, you are right, RL could play for any national team. Yes is he is thrid in CL scoring.
DePaul is an absolute idiot!!!
The "Pareidolia" Effect. We are taking the word of Marca lip readers? OK, they don't sensationalize as much as possible for clicks/readers, do they?
Rodrigo De Paul, hm… never heard of. Who is she?
Lmao who tf is De Paul 😂 that’s the real question
Rodrigo De Clown
WHY TO MINIMIZE LEWANDOWSKI'S initiating the shovings actions???
without the completed story on the table… all this is just bla, blla bla !
No we should go there all argentinians are like that
Dwarf came to De Paul and said:
"I was growing watching your football".
I just wonder if De Paul also brags about winning Copa America and the World Cup when he argues with his wife.
Trash player asking one of the best strikers of all time, ballon d'or winner when they cancelled the ballon dor. Messis bodyguard is dudes best accolade Lol. who are you. How sad and ironic.

De paul😂😂😂
Bro i respect he won a world cup but to be honest he wont be rembered in Atlético Madrid because he was good
Come on… I'm not buying that RDP don't know who Robert Lewandowski is. I belive with his attitude that don't give a f/s/ whatever, but for sure he need to know it. Something different are words he chooses for trash talk. It's only shows what he is made of.
I'm wondering what he brings out when clash with Brazilians 😂
It’s just typical Argentinaian players vibes
Fray acting like he's big player 😂😂
What did you expect from argentinians
LEWANDOWSKI should say "i'm not a bigoted thug, like you"

Otamendi does the same thing. He always does that when he's beefing with other opponents. Did it to Rodri in the final .
Lewandowski won champions league, multiple Bundesliga titles and La liga .WTF is coppa de americas? San Marino has better league than whole Latin America. Europe is on completely different level that is why all decent Argentinians play in Europe . What’s tool
Wer ist de Paul🤔, kenne ich nicht, aber Lewandowski kenne ich, alle kennen ihn.
Yes. Blanket all Argentines 3:23
Hahahahaaaa.. messi mascot talking.. I stay quiet if messi or di maría say that…. but de paul? Hahaha hahaha 🤡 ..
😂 a bunch of clowns in here, sport is sport man, this is mind games, heat of the moment. He didn't call or invited the press in, this isn't a talk show you fools. Seems that the press is woke also, and has nothing else to do.
Both men building something. FIrst one is trying to make history by deeds, second is trying to make himself by words. Moral assesemtn is not what I am (or should be ) capable of properly judge.. but the difference is what do you want to leave after you're gone. An achievement in being the best self everyone else want to remember or worst self you have to deal with for the rest of your life.
Creen que con los 40,000 millones de dólares ya tienen derecho a rebusnar
Don't mind… There's not much gray with Inter Miami. You love to see them succeed or fail. The villain. MLS definitely needs characters as long as it's way too over the top.
