Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski true feelings revealed with Barcelona tension at World Cup

Barcelona past and present met in Qatar as Group C reached a dramatic conclusion on Wednesday night. Mexico beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 but still fell short of qualifying despite Poland losing 2-0 to Argentina.

As the two games came to their conclusion, Mexico pressed for a third goal that would have seen them leapfrog Poland into second place, but they conceded a late goal to scupper their chances. That wasn't to be known for the European side though, as they were on the end of a barrage of Argentina attacks, desperate not to let a third goal of their own in.

Everything ended positively for both sides at Stadium 974 though as Argentina and Poland both ended up qualifying for the last-16. Tempers flared a little bit before the joyful end-of-game celebrations though - even if they were slightly sheepish from the Poles.
