Forward of the Polish national team Robert Lewandowski told what he talked about with Lionel Messi after the match with Argentina (0:2) at the 2022 World Cup.

It was very strange. I was also in the center of the field, defending, but I knew that I had to help the team.
In the last ten minutes of our game, we knew that yellow cards would probably decide the fate of the group. We heard that Mexico wins only 2:0. And then we realized that we must continue to believe in ourselves, but we also had to play carefully and try not to get a yellow card. When the Saudis scored the goal, we felt that luck was on our side.
It was hard work. It was unpleasant, but for the first time in 36 years we reached the next stage of the World Cup. This is a great success for all of Poland,” Lewandowski quotes Mundo Deportivo.
