Ex miss Croatia with subtle dig

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Miss Croatia, Ivana Knoll came out to slam FIFA for awarding the Golden Ball to Lionel Messi.

Knoll was at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday, December 18, despite the fact that her nation was knocked out of the World Cup in the semis.

Shortly after Argentina beat France 4-2 via a penalty shootout, the stunning lass took to her Instagram story with a scathing review of the awards.

According to Knoll, Kylian Mbappe deserved the Golden Ball more than Messi.

Mbappe has been in scintillating form throughout the World Cup, and capped off his performance with a hattrick in the final against Argentina.
