During the Quarter Finals when Argentina and Netherlands were battling it out on the field, during the shootout victory, Messi got into an argument with the match’s referee. As per a report in The Mirror, several complaints were lodged against the referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz, who had preceded the quarter-finals.

As per further reports, after consideration, the referee has been allegedly sent home and declared that he won’t take any further part in the 2022 World Cup.

“After they got the draw I felt a lot of anger. I don’t want to talk about the referee, because they immediately reprimand you or sanction you, but I think people saw what happened.” said Messi.

Argentina is currently set for a semi-final against Croatia as the world will tune in to see Lionel Messi in action once again.
