Lionel Messi won the coveted World Cup trophy as the Albiceleste national team successfully beat France in the Qatar final. The party was extraordinary for the Latin American players, as the triumph in the World Cup was missing for 36 years.

Shumë emocionues ishte edhe ceremonia e dorëzimit të trofeut te kapiteni Messi, i cili udhëhoqi Argjentinën në gjithë rrugëtimin e saj në Katar. Por, teksa Messi përgatitej të ngrinte në qiell Kupën, Emiri i Katarit i vendosi mbi supe një pelerinë e cila lidhej me traditat e Katarit. Në fakt, të shumtë ishin ata që e kontestuan këtë veprim pasi pelerina mbuloi fanellën e Argjentinës, ndërsa së fundmi bëhet e ditur se Messi por edhe Gianni Infantino që ishte prezent në ceremoni, injoruan rregullat e FIFA-s.

In article 27, paragraph 2 of the FIFA regulation, it is clearly defined that during the finals organized by FIFA, a player may use festive clothing other than the official uniform only after the trophy ceremony, after the completion of the official photos as and after formal interviews have been completed. So, unlike what Messi did, he wore the cape before the trophy was handed over, while in this case, FIFA's number one, Gianni Infantino, decided to turn a blind eye.
