A memorable comeback against Egypt brings Argentina to qualification. Lautaro Martinez, captain of Inter and protagonist of the match, commented on the performance of the Seleccion in statements reported by Sportmediaset.
The match became complicated after going two goals down, but the team knew how to react. In the first half, the chances created were not taken advantage of, while in the second half the character of the group emerged. Character, humility, and team spirit allowed them to overturn the result in the final minutes and secure a ticket to the next round.
The Nerazzurri striker reserved special words for Messi. “As for Lionel, everything he shows us every day is simply incredible. He is our guide, our point of reference, our leader. Seeing him so emotional was truly moving,” said Martinez.
The number 10 recounted having spoken directly on the pitch with the Rosario champion. “I told him directly on the field to enjoy this moment, because he deserves it. We will continue to give our all for ourselves, but above all for him. This is his last World Cup and he has given us so much,” he concluded.
