Argentina’s head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has admitted that his team “suffered” in the 2022 World Cup final against France.
Scaloni could not hold back his tears after his country won the title for the third time in their history.
“I cannot believe that we have suffered so much in a perfect game. Unbelievable, but this team responds to everything.
“I am proud of the work they did. It is an exciting group. With the blows we received today, with the draws, this makes you emotional. I want to tell people to enjoy, it’s a historic moment for our country,” Scaloni said.
Lionel Messi scored twice as the game ended 3-3 after 120 minutes, while Emiliano Martinez saved twice during the penalty shoot-out from Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni.
