After the World Cup final between the national teams of Argentina and France, the media was boiling with emotions.
The renowned publication "L'Equipe" insisted that referee Szymon Marciniak should not have counted Argentine leader Lionel Messi's goal in extra time, which put his team ahead 3-2.
It was reported that during the star's shot on goal, French substitutes had run onto the field.
Nevertheless, the referee had something to say to the outraged fans of the planet's vice champions, who not only decided to create a petition that had already gathered 200 thousand signatures.
"The French didn't mention this photo, where you can see how there are seven Frenchmen on the pitch when Mbappé scores a goal," said the Pole.
