After the reigning World Champions made another stunning comeback, Argentina’s head coach, Lionel Scaloni, called his squad a unique group.
Argentina qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final after overcoming a 2-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 3-2 in the round of 32 stage, then coming back from a goal down to defeat England 2-1.
Argentina won with goals from Enzo Fernandez in the 85th minute and Lautaro Martinez in the 92nd, with both assists coming from Lionel Messi.
When Argentina plays Spain in the final on Sunday, July 19, they will have the opportunity to claim their second straight World Cup victory.
Scaloni was speechless in a post-game interview after seeing his club put in yet another great performance late in the game.
“We are really unique, and that is not arrogance.” With all my heart, these players brought us to victory. I’m at a loss for words. Scaloni declared, “A delight for our people, for our country.”
On Saturday, July 18, England will play France in the bronze medal match.
