A photographer covering a Major League Soccer (MLS) game featuring legendary player Leo Messi had his camera broken by an errant ball struck by the Argentine.
The World Cup final is drawing to a close, and Lusail Stadium holds its breath. With the score tied at 3-3 and the clock ticking down in extra time, Emiliano Martínez, Argentina’s goalkeeper, makes a last-ditch save from Kolo Muani’s shot, sending the match to penalties. In the shootout, the Albiceleste hold their nerve, defeating France and securing a third gold star on their crest. Adorned before the flashes of cameras wearing an immense black bisht, a traditional Arab garment, Leo Messi raises the World Cup trophy to the sky alongside the Emir of Qatar and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
