Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, accused Europe of "hypocrisy" and “racism” as he delivered an extraordinary 57-minute monologue hitting back at Qatar World Cup critics.

Just 24 hours before the tournament kicks off, football's most powerful administrator delivered a furious and downbeat defence filled with whatabouteries.

He attempted to turn the tables on Europe's own record on migrant rights in a lengthy speech criticising the world media's coverage of the tournament. In comments quickly branded "embarrassing" online, Infantino said: "This moral lesson-giving, one-side, is just hypocrisy."
