Croatia captain Luka Modric criticized the refereeing of Italian Daniele Orsato after losing 3-0 to Argentina in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
— This should not have happened, but we must recover and try to win the match for third place. We are sad, we wanted to get to another final. But it remains for us to congratulate Argentina. We were good, we controlled the game, and the corner that the referee didn't give us and the penalty kick changed everything. The Argentine shot and collided with our goalkeeper, the referee gave a penalty for this. It changed the game,” he said.
