December 19-in the World Cup final that ended early this morning, Argentina won the World Cup. At the award ceremony, Invantino handed the Hercules Cup to Messi, then followed Messi to the podium. This behavior was also ridiculed by Lineker and Alan Shearer.
In an interview with BBC, Alan Shearer joked that Invantino kept a close eye on him before handing the trophy to Lionel Messi, saying: “I don’t think Invantino will let him leave.”
Lineker later joked: “No one kept an eye on him that closely in the game.”
