Please read the article first, it explicitly says he was handed the medal by infantino who allowed him to keep it. People making false claims on social media doesn’t mean articles talking about it are false.

Nah, lead stories is legit. They’re just fact checking a different claim than what’s made in the independent’s article

This doesn’t contradict the article. It explicitly says he was given the medal by Infantino in the subheader and the article body.
