- Media in France say Messi goal should have been disallowed
- Szymon Marciniak: ‘The French didn’t mention this photo’
The World Cup final ended nearly a week ago but the drama around it continued as the match referee showed a photo on his phone during a news conference to respond to claims that Lionel Messi’s extra-time goal should not have stood.
Argentina won the final in Qatar 4-2 on penalties after the match ended 3-3, with Messi scoring twice and Kylian Mbappé bagging a hat-trick for France.
