Wout Weghorst has admitted he was left “very disappointed” by his altercation with Lionel Messi, pointing the blame at the Argentine icon.
Argentina booked their place in the World Cup semi final on Friday night after a dramatic and feisty encounter with Netherlands. Messi’s side looked to be cruising into the last four after goals from Nahuel Molina and a penalty from the Paris Saint-Germain superstar put them two goals up.
But a late double from Weghorst - who endured a miserable spell with Burnley last season - including a last-second strike took the game into extra time. Both sides had chances in the additional 30 minutes, but the game went to penalties with the South American champions progressing.
