Messi regrets controversy vs Netherlands at the FIFA World Cup 2022

The Hindu  

World Cup winner Lionel Messi regretted his testy exchanges with the Netherlands coach and players during their controversial quarterfinal in Qatar, he said in an interview aired on Monday. He also said “Messi did not touch the ball” in the semifinal between the teams in the 2014 World Cup; Argentina also won that tie in a penalty shootout. “I don’t like to leave that image, but these things happen.” Messi also said Argentina “in general was better than its rivals” and picked Mexico, its second group opponent as “the toughest.” “It was the worst match we played because of all the things involved in winning it or not,” Messi said. I wished that so much in my career and, at the end, it came.” Asked what he would tell Messi in his childhood if he could, the star said: “Something extraordinary awaits, you can’t imagine.
