🚨 Marc Cucurella on his exchange with Lionel Messi during the World Cup final. 🎙️ Reporter: “Marc, what did you say to Messi during that moment?” 🗣️ Marc Cucurella: “It was nothing offensive, nothing racist and nothing personal. We were both trying to gain an edge in a World Cup final. I simply told him that Spain weren’t going to let the referee hand Argentina the trophy and he won’t favour them today,that was just after Enzo was red carded”. “He wasn’t happy with what I said and went to speak to the referee clearly wanted me to be sent off. I did not expect that from him and someone who is a role model to kids,what would they say or learn from him there, honestly it’s shameless but I guess that’s football players complain, players try to influence decisions and emotions run high in matches like these. “From my point of view, I didn’t say anything that deserved a card. It was just competitive talk in the heat of the moment. We both wanted to win, and sometimes these exchanges happen. “After the final whistle, the game was over. We respect what Messi has achieved in football, but during those 120 minutes, he’s just another opponent you’re trying to stop.”
