Wojciech Szczesna and 100 euros lost in a pair with Lionel Messi

Goalkeeper of the Polish national team Wojciech Szczesny (32 years old) and Lionel Messi (35 years old) made an unusual bet on the field.

The Pole said referee Danny McKelley would not call a penalty after watching the phase on the VAR monitor, while Messi said the opposite. It was a bet of 100 euros.

At the end of the game, Szczesny said that he would not give Messi money, and the motivation is as simple as possible: he has enough money.

“I lost a bet with Messi, bet 100 euros if the center will dictate not to take the penalty (this is not about the phase in the 39th minute when Szczesny did not miss the ball on the crossbar and hit Messi in the face).

I don’t know if it’s allowed, maybe I’ll be suspended, I don’t care. I am not going to give him money, he has enough,” said the goalkeeper of Poland.
