What exactly happened? Lionel Messi found himself in deep waters after failing to control his temper. After his team’s victory over the Netherlands in the penalty shootout, Messi heavily criticized match referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz. And that is why FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against him and the team for this swipe.
Although FIFA has not yet officially issued its verdict on Messi, it is very likely that the Argentine skipper will simply walk away with a warning. However, there is still a possibility that the superstar will be banned from competition.

After the heavy criticism from the Argentina squad, FIFA decided to take disciplinary action against the Argentine Football Association and the respective players. And as a result, there is a great risk that if Leo Messi is found guilty, he could miss the semi-final against Croatia.

“I don’t want to talk about referees because then they will penalize you, but we were afraid of the game because we knew what was coming. [with Mateu Lahoz]. I can’t say what I think, but FIFA needs to look into this. [FIFA] can’t put a referee like that on this match if he’s not up to par’ said Messi.
The quarter finals between the Netherlands and Argentina was a gruesome match between the two heavy giants. Discipline was a big problem in the game as both players and coaching staff of both teams lost their cool. This prompted referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz to hand out the yellow card a total of 16 times.
Aside from verbal altercations, the players from both sides often confronted each other when brawls broke out during and after the game. The brawl was so fierce that Denzel Dumfries of the Netherlands received two yellow cards and was sent off after the penalty shootout. After the match, referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz was criticized by Lionel Messi and Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
