He almost broke Messi's dream in the World Cup, now he gives the world the most shocking news

Before achieving the long-awaited title in the World Cup in Qatar, the Argentine team had to go through countless complications that almost made it difficult to fulfill the dream of obtaining the championship. One of them was in the quarterfinals against the Netherlands, where the referee Mateu Lahoz wanted to have the leading role and almost left Lionel Messi without the possibility of winning the competition held in the Middle East.

The Spanish referee was involved in a series of controversies during the commitment between the Albiceleste and the 'Mechanical Orange'. In a match completely controlled by the team led by Lionel Scaloni, referee Lahoz tipped the balance in favor of the Europeans and his bad decisions led to a tie in the final stretch of the commitment.

The situation caused the discomfort of Lionel Messi, who after reaching the semifinals, winning the Netherlands in the penalty shootout, went against Lahoz. He was not the only one, since Emi Martínez also criticized the actions of the controversial judge, who did not whistle again in any World Cup match after his dismal performance in the quarterfinals.

The decision they made in Spain with Mateu Lahoz:

The Spanish Arbitration Committee, faced with the series of bad decisions and unnecessary leadership of Mateu Lahoz, announced that it will be the last year that the central judge directs in the first division. Although there was the possibility that he would extend his stay in football, what he experienced in the World Cup in Qatar accelerated the decision of the organization in question.
