Argentina’s 1 x 1 against France

Emiliano Martinez

heroism

It was his impressive save from Kolo Muani’s shot that took the game to a penalty shootout and another in the shootout that helped Argentina prevail. The goalkeeper of the World Cup.

2

Nahuel Molina

replaced

It was good until a crazy two minutes where France forced extra time. Actions of the same purpose came from his band even though he did not appear in their pictures.

3

Christian Romero

busy

He even fought his shadow in defensive tasks and won from most of them. Grows throughout the fight, though he suffers in ground duels, winning only 1 of 6.

4

Nicholas Otamendi

suffering

He suffered more than he wanted and the play where Kolo Muani got the first penalty was a good example of that. However, except for the said action, he knows how to suffer and successfully resolve most of the actions in which he intervened.

5

Nicolas Tagliafico

following

He held his place in the starting ‘eleven’ at the expense of Marcos Acuña and more than fulfilled the time he had to be on the pitch. One of those unlikely heroes.

6

angel di maria

Imperial

The physicist put up with him for an hour, during which he offered a presentation with awards. He forced a 1-0 penalty, scored 2-0 and was at all times a nightmare for the French.

7

Rodrigo DePaul

Employee

In the first minutes he saw that he would give his life to help Argentina become champions. He worked and fought without stopping, which is important in the middle of the Albiceleste field.

8

Enzo Fernandez

revalued

He endured from start to finish completing a more than impressive performance. He came to the World Cup declaring that he could be one of the revelations and this turned out to be a confirmation. It is impossible to understand this success of Argentina without him.

9

Alexis McAllister

Talented

At all times he played the ball with good judgment. He worked tirelessly when the ball was not at his feet and brought meaning to the game when he was in contact with it. Another one of those coming out of the World Cup that is more than revalued.

10

Leo Messi

D10S

Infinite. Two goals in the match and a third in the penalty shootout. The only title missing to complete an unparalleled record. That was his end and he accomplished more. It cannot be otherwise. Soccer did him justice.

Eleven

Julian Alvarez

Dangerous

He didn’t score, but he left samples of his mobility and spatial intelligence in the white-blue attack. The World Cup only confirmed him as an elite striker. 22 years old.

12

Marcos Acuna

hardworking

He came in for Di María so Argentina could play a double winger on the left flank. In extra time, he knows how to provide solidity and freshness to last until the penalty shootout.

13

Gonzalo Montiel

Rectifier

He was the hero of a blunder that led to the penalty that saw France level in extra time to force a shootout, but he rectified the a posteriori by scoring the one worth proving the victory.

14

Leandro Paredes

Bodyguard

From the moment he entered the pitch, he worked hard to help his teammates. It was basic so that Argentina did not end up going down in extra time.

fifteen

Lautaro Martinez

fallen

The eventual victory saved him, but his mistake of everything in favor of scoring late in extra time may have consigned him to history as an unwitting villain. He removed it.

16

German Pezzella

Testimonials

He played 8 minutes but had no impact on the game.

17

Paulo Dybala

Specialist

He went in to take a penalty in the shootout and, although he shot into the middle, he scored, that’s about it.
