Szymon Marciniak, referee of the World Cup final, and the forceful responses to the French claims

The final of the World between Argentina Y France continues to have repercussions. A few days ago the French newspaper L’Équipe pointed out that Lionel Messi’s second goal, the one that gave the South Americans the lead 3-2, had to be annulled due to interference into the field of the Albiceleste substitutes.

The newspaper did not hesitate to show the snapshots where two Argentine players can be seen stepping onto the field of play before the ball crossed Hugo Lloris’s goal line.

Faced with the avalanche of criticism, Szymon Marciniak has decided to respond without regard and reminds the French that the French substitutes also stepped on the pitch before Mbappé’s goal.

“What was the impact of the players getting up and walking onto the pitch? To cancel it should affect affect the match. The French did not mention the photo where we can see that there are seven Frenchmen on the field when Mbappé scored,” Marciniak mentioned.

Pierluigi Collina, head of FIFA’s arbitration committee, has backed the Polish judge and did not hesitate to praise his work. “He is stronger than technology, he made incredibly accurate and good decisions,” said the considered “best referee.”
