Crowd loud as jet
LIONEL Messi’s wonder goal could leave fans deaf because the noise they made celebrating was the same as a jumbo jet.
A noise meter showed the racket inside Lusail Stadium the moment the superstar gave Argentina a 1-0 lead in Saturday’s showdown with Mexico hit a staggering 115 decibels.
That has the same impact as standing next to a jet engine and could cause “irreversible damage” to hearing, according to medical experts.
Argentina had been facing early elimination from the Qatar tournament after losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their opening match in the biggest shock in football history.
