JAKARTA - Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny turned out to have made a bet with Argentina captain Lionel Messi when the two teams met in the final match of the 2022 World Cup Group C preliminary, Thursday, December 1 in the morning WIB.
They are betting that the referee will not award a penalty to Argentina. That moment occurred in the first half.
At that time, Szczesny, who wanted to punch the ball, was judged to have committed a violation against Messi. There was a debate about whether it was purely a violation or not.
After referee Danny Makkelie followed VAR's advice, he also pointed to the spot.
Szczesny, who believed it was not a penalty, dared to bet on Messi during the break, that the referee would not point to the spot. He also lost 100 euros or around Rp. 1.7 million, far from the expectations of many people.
However, the Juventus goalkeeper doesn't seem to be going to pay for it either.
"We spoke before the penalty. I told him I could bet 100 euros that the referee wouldn't give it. So, I lost money betting against Messi," Szczesny was quoted as saying by Live Score.
"I don't know if it's allowed in the World Cup and I might be sanctioned for that, but I don't care now."
"I'm also not going to pay it! He doesn't care about 100 euros, come on," he continued.
Luckily, Szczesny was unlucky at the uncommunicable bet when he faced Messi in the penalty execution. He successfully saved the Paris Saint-Germain star's shot.
Unfortunately, Poland still lost 0-2. Alexis MacAllister scored Argentina's goal in the 46th minute and Julian Alvarez in the 67th minute.
