Netherlands star Wout Weghorst has given his side of the story in relation to his World Cup bust-up with Argentina talisman Lionel Messi.
The pair locked horns after the Dutch were eliminated by the Albiceleste at the quarter-final stage of the competition in what was a thrilling encounter. Argentina boasted a two-nil lead with just 10 minutes to play but Weghorst bagged a brace to take the tie into extra time and eventually penalties.
Though Weghorst kept his composure to score his spot-kick, it was the eventual champions Argentina that progressed after a hard-fought, ill-tempered affair that saw a record amount of yellow cards shown. The animosity between the two teams continued long after the shootout had ended and carried over into the tunnel.
