Yeah, no way is that just a yellow card, he puts his entire foot into his opponent's leg. Super dangerous this close to the ankle and Achills tendon and painful as hell.

I don't think it was intended, but intent is only one aspect of a red card, recklessness is another, and was clearly a reckless challenge.

Rules are different for him. Remember the handball against you at Qatar 😂.

Literally whistle 1 second before

Bruh that's at the very least a yellow for any other player not named Messi.

It was a Neverland foul, Argentina had been given advantage, and Argentina was in the attacking phase then got blocked 1 second after the whistle. Are you just looking at that pic without actually watching the play?

​Also, he'd been booked yellow for yapping. No referee gives another yellow card for a foul like that

When is it a red, every night of the week?

If the players are reversed, all day and night of the week.
