🤔 Club World Cup: should Messi have been sent off against Algeria? It’s an image that’s causing a huge stir. On the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, Lionel Messi gave us a football moment of the kind we rarely see. In his first match of the 2026 World Cup, La Pulga simply bagged a hat-trick to crush Algeria and become the joint top scorer in the competition’s history. However, the match could have turned out very differently for the Argentine legend. Just a few minutes after his goal, Leo Messi was guilty of stamping on Aïssa Mandi’s calf. A foul that escaped both the referee and VAR, but one that sparked a major debate among those watching the match. In your opinion, should Leo Messi have been sent off for this foul?
