Gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey has made the headlines after he offered a word of prayer for PSG striker and Argentina captain, Lionel Messi.

As Argentina prepares to take on France in the finals of the world cup, Nathaniel, a huge Messi fan, prayed for the footballer to win the championship.

The gospel sensation while sharing Messi's photo on Twitter wrote: “Father, Please give Him the World Cup and silence His mockers."

Netizens trooped the singer's comment section with criticisms after the post was shared.

In response to the criticisms that followed his post, Nathaniel wrote: "So because I want my favorite player to win the World Cup, I don’t pray for Nigeria Abi? Schm. Is it today you found out I’m a huge Messi fan? So being a man of God means I can’t watch football as one of my hobbies.”

Below are some comments that trailed his post:
