L’Équipe newspaper says Argentina’s third goal should have been cancelled out

It has been several hours since Argentina beat France in the World Cup final in Qatar. However, the analysis of the party and its controversies continues, and perhaps will do so for a few more days. It is in this context that one of the main sports newspapers of the Gallic country argued that Argentina’s third goal should have been annulled. According to L’Équipe, the goal that Lionel Messi converted 3 minutes into the second half of extra time should have been invalidated by referee Szymon Marciniak “because the Argentine substitutes were already on the pitch before the ball crossed the goal line” of the goal defended by Hugo Lloris.Selon le règlement, le second but de Messi, dans la prolongation, aurait dû être refusé par l’arbitre de la rencontre, Szymon Marciniak. Des remplaçants argentins étaient, déjà, sur la pelouse avant que le ballon ne dépasse la ligne de but d’Hugo Lloris https://t.co/zR3T2EekCR pic.twitter.com/D8cmoe8xw5— L’ÉQUIPE (@lequipe) December 19, 2022Among the comments, a user retorted that the penalty they gave to France a few minutes from the end by Gonzalo Montiel’s hand should have also been annulled by the referee, because before Kylian Mbappé shot on goal, Upamecano had deflected the ball with his hand.
