The FIFA World Cup Final concluded with Argentina victory where Lionel Messi stole the show.  The South American team beat France by 4-2 in the penalties despite Mbappe’s remarkable efforts.

The match also gave birth to a controversy concerning Messi’s second goal in the extra time. Many in the football fraternity claim that the goal was illegitimate, and they are now questioning the referee’s decision for it.

The FIFA World Cup Final referee has now broken his silence on this controversy. A leading French Publication L’Equipe had questioned the legitimacy of the goal in an article claiming as to why Argentina’s second should not have been awarded.

India inched ahead and strengthened their chances to qualify for the World Test Championship Final, clean sweeping Bangladesh 2-0 in an away Test series on Sunday.

India had soared to the third position after winning the first Test in Chattogram, but South Africa’s defeat to Australia inside two days helped them to move to the second spot.

They have now further consolidated their spot on the points table after winning a thriller in Dhaka as Bangladesh came too close to disturbing their chances and creating history with a first Test win over their neighbours.

Sunil Gavaskar is currently part of the commentary panel of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh. Apart from sharing great insights into the game, the legendary cricketer is also known for sharing some hilarious anecdotes.

Before the start of Day 2 of the second Test, the former opener shared a hilarious anecdote and ended up embarrassing former India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Speaking on Live TV, the ‘Little Master’ reminded Ganguly that he was not the BCCI president anymore, so he should better stop giving him excuses and return his prized possession.

Lionel Messi’s Argentina ended their 36-year wait for a World Cup trophy as they defeated France in the FIFA World Cup 2022 final in Qatar on penalties.

The summit clash will go down as the most entertaining football contest between two evenly matched sides who gave it their all on the field to create a spectacle that was loved worldwide.

Argentina had the match in the bag till the 79th minute but with just over 11 minutes remaining in the match, France’s young superstar, Kylian Mbappe, came to the party and scored two goals within 97 seconds to take the contest into extra time.

Ballon d'Or winner and World Cup champion Lothar Matthaus has called out Cristiano Ronaldo over his ego trips in the FIFA World Cup 2022. Accusing the Portuguese of ruining the team environment, Matthaus said that Ronaldo has damaged his legacy with his antics in the recent days.

"With his ego trips, Ronaldo has damaged the team and himself. There is no doubt that he was a great player and an absolutely lethal finisher. But now he has damaged his legacy. I find it hard to think that he can find a place in a team. I kind of feel sorry for Ronaldo," Matthaus told BILD. 

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United came to a mutual termination after the player's explosive interview to Piers Morgan where he called out the club owners, former players and the coach Erik ten Hag.
