France did not disappoint against New Zealand on the final day (3-0) and finished first in group A with full points (9), but in the quarterfinals of the men’s soccer tournament at the Paris Olympic Games they will face each other in Friday, August 2nd none other and none less than Argentina in a summit duel that could be a final.
Their paths crossed at Camp Nou
It will be a battle between two prestigious technicians, Thierry Henry and Javier Mascherano, teams from France and Argentina respectively. Both have played for Barcelona but have not played together since the French forward left the Camp Nou in 2010, when ‘Jefecito’ came close.
The possibility that Argentina will face rivals France in the quarterfinals was created after the Albiceleste defeated Ukraine (2-0) today but finished second in group B behind Morocco.
Logic prevailed in group A and moments later France beat New Zealand at the Vélodrome de Marseille 3-0 with goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta (19′), Désiré Doue (71′) and Arnaud Kalimuendo (74′).
France completed the total of victories and finished with 9 points ahead of the United States, who also beat Guinea 3-0 and moved into the quarterfinals as second. Your rival will be Morocco.
