America: He is one of the best footballers of all time in the world. Lionel Messi won the World Cup last year. Even after four years, his magic still remains the same.

This time, their first opponent, Algeria, made serious accusations against him, Leo Messi. They claim that Messi is being given an unfair advantage, as a result of which the opposing team is in trouble. The Algerian team has already complained to FIFA.

What exactly happened? Argentina faced Algeria in their first match of World Cup 2026. At that time, Argentina is leading 1-0.

Then the ball at the feet of Algeria captain Aissa Mandi. Messi suddenly fouled Mandi from behind. He placed his right foot on Mandi's leg.

The referee gave Messi a foul but did not show a card. Even the referee did not take over. This time, Algeria took strict action against it.

The Algerian federation has filed a complaint with FIFA against the referees in that match. According to them, their main complaint is about Messi's tackle. That tackle should have shown a red card.

At least the yellow card is unfair to Algeria. The referee did not take charge in several cases, so the federation complained to FIFA. They even claimed that Argentina's Alexis McAllister played a very ugly game, but FIFA did not take any action.

Even the referee was completely indifferent. Even the Algerian players were furious with Argentina's performance, but the referee did not show any cards. Algeria complains that the referee is biased because the name of the opponent is Messi.
