Former Chilean referee, Carlos Chandía, has shockingly revealed
that he once spared Lionel Messi a second yellow card in the 2007 Copa América semifinals in order to get his match-worn jersey at the end of the game. 🤯


Had Messi been booked, he would've missed the final, in which Argentina consequently went on to lose 3-0 to Brazil. 💀


Chandia believes his decision with Messi may have cost him the role of referring the final of the competition. 🙃

As a Ronaldo fan don’t you think this happens throughout out the sport. Favored decisions happen. This guy just decided to speak on it.

People calling it corruption haven’t seen the clip, there was a fake whistle being blown so he grabbed the ball not so far from the middle of the pitch with literally 3 seconds left

Literally 1 sec before the final whistle of the referee you could hear a whistle in the stands… Messi thought it was the whistle of the referee and grabbed the ball… nothing more, just a misunderstanding in the last second of the game while they were leading 3-0. But ofc media will spin it without context and will make headlines of it… so misleading 👎🏼

Imagine if the FIFA reveal after 10 year, that they already buy a Portugese player before world cup so that Ronaldo couldn't win a world cup
