Relentless criticism! Piers Morgan slams Lionel Messi after World Cup final

Leo delivered far from his best performance at the decisive moment.

Details: British TV presenter Piers Morgan lashed out at Lionel Messi following the World Cup final, claiming that the Argentina captain failed to live up to expectations.

"All this talk about 'Saint Lionel.' He's supposedly the greatest player of all time, but in the final, he was nowhere to be seen! I didn't even know he was on the pitch."

Morgan also criticized the Argentine's conduct during one of the incidents in the match, accusing him of trying to get Spain defender Marc Cucurella sent off.

"And secondly, he's not MR NICE GUY at all, he tried to get Cucurella sent off in the most SHAMELESS and DISGRACEFUL way."

The journalist's remarks sparked a heated response on social media: some users supported his opinion, while others considered Morgan's words overly emotional and biased.
