JAKARTA - One of the most striking images of the duel between Poland and Argentina coming as the game entered its last minute, Robert Lewandowski fouled Lionel Messi after being easily fooled by La Pulga.

When Lewandowski approached to apologize, the Argentine didn't even look at the Polish striker and looked into the distance.

At the end of the match, the two players chatted for a while and hugged each other, making peace.

While in the mixed zone, Messi was asked about the incident and what the two were talking about at the time.

"I respect everyone, both on and off the pitch and no problem," Messi told Onda Cero, citing Marca, Friday.

However, he did not want to reveal what he was talking about with Lewandowski.

"It's nothing. He doesn't speak Spanish... and I'm taught that everything that happens on the pitch stays on the pitch and everything that happens in the dressing room remains in the dressing room.

"I'm not going to tell you anything (which we talked about)."

Meanwhile, Lewandowski discussed the issue with the Polish press.

"It was an interesting fight. The problem with Leo was just a curious moment," said the Barcelona forward.

"We chatted a little bit, but nothing special."

In the past, Messi and Lewandowski had disagreements. The Polish striker spoke of Messi's words after winning the 2021 Ballon d'Or, where the Argentine suggested that the 2020 Ballon d'Or, which was not awarded due to the pandemic, should fall into Lewandowski's hands.

"I want it to be a sincere statement from a great player and not an empty word," Lewandowski said, and he later had to clarify his words.

When the handover of the 2021 The Best award won by Lewandowski, the player who is now competing at Barcelona was also upset to know Messi didn't vote for him.

"Why didn't Messi choose me? Ask him," he said.
