Diego Lugano says FIFA helped Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar

Having reached the age of 42, Lugano believes that Argentina “helped become world champions”, especially certain decisions of the referees.

“Without a doubt, they were helped. Four of the five penalties they received were not penalties. This is reality. But it is also the merit of Lionel Messi, who has many successes around the world.

Do you think FIFA does not see this and does not act like this? This is also the merit of Argentina, which was able to take advantage of this” – Diego Luganoin an interview for Futbol por Carve

Retired from football in 2017, Diego Lugano played for Nacional, Plaza Colonia, Sao Paulo (twice), Fenerbahce, PSG, Malaga, West Bromwich Albion, ” BK Hacken”, “Serro Porteno”.
