Roy Keane, Manchester United legend, said that he was "disgusted" with the decision to award a penalty kick to France in the World Cup final.
The French were awarded a kick in the 38th minute when Ivan Perisic was found guilty of the ball in the box after a shot by Blaise Matuidi.
Arbitrator Nestor Pitana did not kick in early, but changed his mind after being asked to consult the VAR.
And Keane was left angry by his change of opinion.
"I'm disgusted, absolutely disgusted," he said.
"Never penalty, this referee has never played football."

Keane's point of view was echoed by the ITV studio.
Gary Neville, former right-back of England, said: "The referee has never played the game," adding that Lee Dixon added, "No penalty for a million or so d & # 39; years. "
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg was in agreement with the former players.
"His hands (from Matuidi) are in a natural position," he said.
"No movement towards the ball, no penalty."
Antoine Griezmann scored a goal to put France 2-1 in place.
Dalic condemns the decision of punishment while congratulating France.
"We played well in the first 20 minutes," Croatian boss told reporters. "We dominated and then the penalty was given.
"I will never comment on the referees, but let me say one thing: in a World Cup final, you do not give such a penalty, but it does not diminish the victory of France.
"Do not take this as if I say something bad to the referee, I respect the referees, he did what he saw, fair and square.
"I've never wanted to be negative, it's like that, when it comes to the VAR, when it's in your favor, it's good, when this n & rsquo; Is not bad, that's all.
"Maybe we are a little unlucky, maybe in other games we have been favored by luck, today we were not."
Croatia was relegated to the 18th minute of the match when Mario Mandzukic took a free-kick from Griezmann in his own net, and Dalic said the mistakes cost his team when it was important.
Despite the failure of the victory and the first big trophy of Croatia, Dalic described the performance of his players against France as their best in the World Cup.
"I congratulate the players for the best game we played here," he said.
"We controlled the game but we conceded it, and facing a team so strong, you can not go wrong.
"We are sad but we must also be proud of what we have done."
