Poland’s goalkeeper bet on Messi in live match, asked on losing – will he be banned?
The awarding of the penalty to Messi by referee Danny McCallie took the Juventus goalkeeper by surprise. Earlier, he had bet Messi that the referee would reject his appeal and had placed a bet of 100 euros for it. After the VAR review, he was confident that the referee would not award Messi a penalty. About this he told- We talked before the penalty and I said that I would bet him 100 Euro that the referee is not going to give it.
He added- …so I lost a bet against Messi. I don’t know whether it is allowed in the World Cup or not. I’m probably going to get banned for this, but I just don’t care. I’m not even going to pay them, because they won’t care for 100 Euros. He has a lot of money. Notably, this was Szczesny’s second penalty save of the tournament.
Regarding this, he said- You need some luck to save Messi’s penalty shot. Messi missed three goals in the race for the World Cup Golden Boot with Marcus Rashford, Kylian Mbappe, Cody Gakpo and Ener Valencia.
