Messi's non-expulsion triggers debate as Algerian Mandi retires from international play
Essai Mandi, the Algerian national team defender, announced his retirement from international football after a career spanning over 12 years, during which he participated in 122 matches—setting a record for most appearances with Algeria. He played in the 2014 and 2026 World Cups and won the African Cup of Nations in 2019. His decision comes days after team captain Riyad Mahrez announced his retirement. Mandi’s contributions have been notable, especially in the World Cup match against Argentina, where he was fouled by Messi; despite the controversy and debate, he was not sent off.
