Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has criticized the decision of the referee of the 2022 World Cup group stage match between Argentina and Poland, Danny McKelly, to award a penalty for a foul on Lionel Messi.
Rio Ferdinand"Shameful decision. That's not what VAR was created for. Let's start with the fact that the goalkeeper touched his eyelashes. And the fact that the referee went to watch the video review... He barely touched Messi," Ferdinand was quoted as saying by the Evening Standard.
We will remind that at the end of the first half, the Argentines received the right to a penalty kick, but team captain Lionel Messi could not beat Wojciech Szczesna.
