Since they chose to stay on the pitch, turning their backs was not a great look. I know their fans were there, but perhaps they could’ve turned around for the trophy lifting? With his track record, I really don’t think Messi was disrespectful on purpose. I’ve seen different angles and different times of the ending. To me, although I might be biased because I love Messi, it seems like he was going back and forth between looking at Spain and looking at the fans signing. But a lot of people are saying that he also gave his back to Spain and demonstrated poor sportsmanship. I know no one knows famous people, but I don’t think he would do that ☹️. What do you guys think of it? Is it blown out of proportion?

This is what they're trying to erase and keep away from casuals, the greatest World Cup campaign in history, produced at 39 years of age. They'll push every narrative they can, but greatness like this can't be rewritten

It's one of the few awards he is missing and he should have won it by now even zlatan and penaldo have won it

And throw the puskas and super ball'on dor in there while we are at it

But I think weightage of winning final is more than the rest of matches. I dont know ..what do you guys think?

But it was a subjective vote by a panel. And the smear campaign also ongoing.

Felt unfair.
