A certain section of the press does not seem satisfied with Argentina winning the World Cup. Madrid’s OK Diario published an article highlighting that the 3-2 loss to Albiceleste, the work of Leo Messi who was later neutralized by Mbappe, should not have appeared on the scoreboard
The reason is that substitute players entered the field of play before the Argentine star pushed the ball into the net
“The rules are very clear: only 11 players from the same team can be on the field. VAR did not intervene to declare that the goal was illegal and that it was by simple televised repetition
It is seen that he should not appear on the scoreboard,” the article reads. However, the attached photo corresponds to the moment the ball actually crossed the goal line
Argentina would later be declared world champions in a penalty shootout, but all the help they received during the World Cup went unnoticed. It is not only the goal, but also after they got penalties in their favor in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the end of the event to break the historical record,” he ends the article, completely escaping from impartiality.
