Lionel Messi is focused on what will be the grand final of the World Cup in Qatar between Argentina and France, where the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) will seek the coveted title. In this context, Szymon Marciniak, referee of the crucial match, spoke about the Albiceleste captain, who criticized Mateu Lahoz in the quarterfinals.

After the game, Lionel Messi criticized the Spaniard, who wanted to steal the limelight and invented a foul for the 'Clockwork Orange' tie.
