The great star Lionel Messi today, Monday, in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine national team defeated Austria with a score of 2:0.

Messi himself became the author of the doubleArgentina to qualify for the 32nd round of the World Cup.

Messi scored the first goal in today’s game, making him the all-time top scorer at the World Cup with 17 goals, breaking the partnership with Germany’s Miroslav Klose (16 goals), before Al-Barghout took his tally to 18 with the second goal.

But one of the Manchester United legends was extremely angry at the awarding of Messi’s first goal, which gave him the historic throne, pointing out that the Egyptian referee Amin Omar had to overturn it.

Former Manchester United star Peter Schmeichel said the goal should not have been disallowed, stressing that referee Amin Omar did not call the error in the attack that preceded the goal, with Argentina’s Alexis McAllister interfering with his rival Javier Schlager.

Speaking at halftime on Fox Sports, the 62-year-old player said: “I don’t think that goal should have been scored. It was a free kick. McAllister kicked the player to the ground. It should have been a free kick.”

He continued. “The video assistant technology (VAR) should have reviewed the matter… It’s a clear and obvious mistake by the referee.”

“That’s why I’m a little disappointed,” added Schmeichel angrily.

Another said: “FIFA is really trying to give Argentina privileges. It was a huge foul on the Austrian before Argentina scored. Messi also committed a huge foul in the last game, for which he should have been sent off. What’s going on here?”

The third added: “In other words, there was an open violation by Argentina before Messi’s goal.

Another said: “An obvious mistake. It’s really disgusting at this stage before Messi’s goal.”
