The French edition of L’Équipe recognized the unsatisfactory work of the chief referee of the World Cup final in Qatar.

The authoritative portal gave the Polish referee of the match Argentina – France Szymon Marciniak a score of “two” on a ten-point system.

In its material, the publication stated that the judge “did not live up to expectations.” The referee is blamed for a penalty on Angel Di Maria and the refusal to consider with the help of VAR the moment with the fall in the penalty area of the Argentines Marcus Thuram. It is also noted that Marciniak was loyal to the Argentines, and, in particular, did not punish Christian Romero for numerous, according to the publication, violations of the football player. The behavior of Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the penalty shoot-out was also indicated, when he took the ball in his hands before hitting Aurélien Tchuameni.

The French lost to Argentina in the penalty shootout – 3:4. The Latin American team won the World Cup for the third time in its history.
