This maddening World Cup final won by Argentina on Sunday against France (3-3, 4-2 on penalties) did not need an additional ingredient to establish themselves as footballing legends. And yet, here is one, disgusted; by the influential English media SPORTbible and relayed by by L’Equipe the 108th minute, was not valid.
Flashback (painful, yes, we know): after a magnificent action at three with Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez, Lionel Messi takes a shot from the Inter Milan striker saved. by Hugo Lloris. Jules Koundé clears the ball, but behind the goal line. Nothing to do say… Except that on a wider view, we can clearly see two Argentine substitutes entering -slightly- on the lawn, while the “Pulga” has just kicked and the ball has not yet entered; in the Lloris cages.
