The Argentine Football Association recalled the national team's journey in the 2026 World Cup through a moving video that carried a strong message hinting at an organized campaign aimed at hindering Argentina and preventing it from reaching the final.
The video reviewed the team's most prominent milestones during the tournament, leading up to the victory over England in the semi-final and reaching the final match for the second time in a row, despite the criticism and pressure that accompanied the team throughout its journey.
The federation's message read: "What many did not want to happen, has happened... Argentina has reached another final," emphasizing that the team was able to overcome all obstacles and respond on the field.
The message also stressed that the team fought until the last moment and left the tournament with their heads held high, despite losing to Spain in the final.
The video concluded with a touching message inspired by the tears of captain Lionel Messi: "You may win or you may lose, but the one thing you cannot do is stop trying."
