What Szczesny told the refree when he awarded the penalty

“I immediately told the referee that I touched him (Messi) with my hand in the face, but I only hit him on the side of his face. I told him there was contact but I don’t think there is a penalty. The referee decided otherwise and that’s fine – I got to show off.”

What Szczesny said when he stopped Messi’s penalty shotWojciech Szczesny disclosed a €100 bet with Lionel Messi before the penalty kick.

“Now I can say that I knew where Messi would shoot, but at the time I wasn’t so sure. Leo looks at the keeper on some penalties and hits hard on others.”

”I knew that if he was going to hit hard, it would be more to my left. I saw that he was not stopping, so I went, I sensed, I defended. I’m happy because that penalty gave something in the end. Very big satisfaction. I owed it to the team.”

What was Messi and Szczesny bet

Szczesny said the following in a separate interview with TV 2 Sport:

“No I didn’t [think the penalty would be given].

“We spoke before the penalty and I told him I can bet him €100 that he wasn’t going to give it.”

“So I’ve lost a bet against Messi. I don’t know if that’s allowed at the World Cup. I’m probably going to be banned for it. I don’t care right now.”

He added: “And I’m not going to pay him either! He doesn’t care about €100, come on!”

Szczesny was asked if Messi already has enough money, He said: “Yeah, I think so.”

Szczesny who stopped Messi from scoring in the first half was unable to stop Alexis Mac Allister from giving Argentina the lead early in the second half.

The lead for Argentina was later doubled in the 67th minute by Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez.
