Mandi details Messi's apology after incident
Algerian national team defender Issa Mandi confirmed that Argentina's star Lionel Messi apologized to him after a hard challenge during the 2026 World Cup match between the two teams, which Argentina won 3-0 with Messi scoring three goals. Although the incident caused controversy and was considered deserving of a red card, Mandi stated that Messi apologized and quickly checked on him. He did not view the event as a foul that warranted a dismissal. A Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review did not lead to any change in the referee's decision, as the referee did not review the incident according to protocol.
