After so many blows, after so much crying and so much waiting, finally Argentina managed to raise, again, the world Cup. The process was tough, from the chaotic debut against Saudi Arabia, to the agonizing draw in regulation time against France.
Penalties are a separate game, and the Argentines have managed to stay accurate in this Russian roulette. Before Lloris, nobody failed from the 12 steps. Messi, Dybala, Paredes and Montiel. The fifth kicker? That last shot was never necessary.
And we must not forget ‘Dibu’ MartÃnez, an unconditional icon in the ‘Scaloneta’, who made penalties one more everyday occurrence and not what they really are: a shot into the air that is the last at any time.
Join us to relive the celebration of the Argentine squad, who, full of fervor, saw Lionel Messi at the center of the celebrations and congratulations.
