Lionel Messi looked at referee Raphael Claus and said “twice, twice … you screwed us twice.” It was the rush of having the goal that would ensure the Argentina the triumph over him Paraguay canceled by the Brazilian.
The words of Messi to Claus were detected by TycSports during the transmission of the duel, last Thursday (12), and it is possible to notice that the referee saw and heard. Even so, he did not impose any punishment on the Argentine captain.
For many analysts, the goal was badly canceled. Claus saw a foul early in the play when Nicolás González stepped on Romero’s right foot and disarmed him on the left side of the defense field. At that time, nothing was marked by the referee.
The play continued for 27 seconds, with nine hits to the ball, counting the assistance of Lo Celso for Messi to score. Then Claus stopped the game and went to check the bid in the VAR. There is a FIFA recommendation for cases like this. He says that the origin of the play should not be analyzed in the defensive field of whoever scored the goal. Only in the offensive sector.
If Claus had confirmed Messi’s goal, Argentina would have anticipated the duel, but since the match was canceled, the match continued to draw 1-1 and ended like that, in the Bombonera in Buenos Aires.

When venting, Messi complained of two losses caused by the arbitration. The previous one was a penalty from Martínez Quarta in Almirón, who fell in the area 18 minutes into the first half. For many analysts, there was no penalty.
Even so, without consulting the VAR, Claus kept the mark, and Romero converted.
The tie, won at 40 in the first half with a header from Nicolás González, took the 100% advantage of the Albiceleste team in the tie for the world Cup. In three games, there are two wins and a draw.
