The Argentine under-23 team lost 1-0 to its French counterpart and was eliminated from the Paris Olympic Games in the quarter-finals, a match that began with booing of the national anthem and ended with incidents after Enzo Millot’s absurd provocation of the bench of the team managed by Javier Mascherano.
Jean-Philippe Matetá’s goal, which he beat Nicolás Otamendi to the punch from a corner, made the difference in a high-flying match, from the aforementioned boos in the middle of the Argentine anthem, to the embarrassing end.
Argentine coach Mascherano He was heavily criticized for the changes he implemented to try to change the course of the Argentine national team, so below we leave you with the most viral reactions on social network X (or Twitter).
France will play next Monday at 11am in our country in the semi-finals against Egypt, who beat Paraguay in the quarter-finals in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes of play. “The goal came very quickly and that helped us a little bit. What can’t happen is what happens at the end, it can’t happen that a player is expelled. Mascherano’s tactics were tough. For me, Today’s match was not a rematch (of the Qatar 2022 final), because those were A teams and these are B teams,” said French coach Thierry Henry in an interview with TyC Sports.
