“I think the referees turn a blind eye toward Messi, he should have received a red card because it is a bad foul directly to the back”, said former Manchester United player Roy Keane.
“I respect Messi a lot for all his achievements, but sometimes the signs are obvious that you cannot be the greatest of all time like that. I feel that the referees respect him too much”.
In the match against Algeria, the Argentine forward commits a harsh challenge from behind for which he did not receive any card, and everyone thinks he should have been booked.
