The hair pull was recorded forever. Stamford Bridge, 2022: Cristian Romero pulls Marc Cucurella’s hair just before Tottenham’s equalizing goal. VAR reviewed the play again and again, and decided not to penalize it. Cucurella never forgot it. 😡
“It was crystal clear”, the Spaniard said bluntly. “The referee and VAR made a mistake.” For him, there is no excuse: it was a foul and it was not called.
Now fate has prepared a rematch for them with the highest stakes possible. Argentina, Romero’s national team, faces Spain, where Cucurella plays, in the World Cup final. Will there be another hair pull? Will Cucurella get his revenge? Round two is about to begin 🔥⚽
