After Argentina secured their spot in the 2026 World Cup final last night, Lionel Scaloni shared his emotions in a heartfelt interview with beIN Sports.

The Albiceleste head coach expressed powerful sentiments as he explained his squad’s success against England (2-1).

"We are extremely moved, I have no words. I am happy for our people, for our country, for the team. We will try to win and do everything we can, but it’s very difficult to make people truly understand these players—it’s incredible. We are very united and without arrogance," the Argentine coach said.
