INVESTIGATED fifa, Lionel Messi potentially absent in the Argentina-Croatia semi-final match World Cup 2022. The superstar of La Albiceleste – nicknamed by the Argentina national team – allegedly violated the disciplinary code in the match against the Netherlands.
Argentina successfully penetrated the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup with Lionel Messi performing well against the Netherlands. In the match at the Lusail Stadium, Saturday, December 10, 2022 in the morning WIB, La Pulga – nicknamed Lionel Messi – scored a goal and an assist.
But unfortunately, Wout Weghorst’s brace meant the Netherlands leveled the scores until the match went to penalties. In the end, Argentina still manages to save itself thanks to the glory of Emiliano Martinez who stops two Dutch players.
The score of 4-3 ended the session of five. But now Lionel Messi’s fate is being called into question for the semi-final along with his criticism of referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz.
The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar was also seen arguing with the Dutch national team manager, Louis van Gaal after the match. FIFA also conducted an examination of La Pulga before the match against Croatia.
In its official statement, the Argentine national team allegedly violated articles 12 and 16 of the FIFA disciplinary code in the match against the Netherlands. FIFA is also investigating the Netherlands national team for the same potential violations.
But for Holland this is useless because they have already been eliminated. As far as Argentina is concerned, this is a threat because Messi is involved.
