He almost got Argentina out of the World Cup, and now he is nowhere to see in the Albiceleste squad for Qatar

With Qatar's World Cup just months away is impossible to not analyze and remember what happened to the favorite teams in Russia 2 years ago. This time we will talk about Argentina.

The Albiceleste arrived at the most important football tournament as one of the favorites after being runner-up in Brazil 4 years prior. But they struggle from the very beginning of the tournament. Iceland (debuting in the World Cup) stole the spotlight from Messi & company and managed to tie the match 1-1.

From then on, everything got worse for Lionel's squad. Their second match against Croatia went awful. The first goal ended one player's career. It might be tough to say but after Croatia's opening goal, Willy Cabellero just simply disappear from the football scene.

What happened to him?

After that dreadful performance, River Plate's goalkeeper Franco Armani benched him for the rest of the tournament. And after that, he kept being on the bench of his club, Chelsea. At the end of his contract, nobody wanted to sign him, but his luck changed at the beginning of December of 2021 when Southampton decided to sign him for one month, and after that trial, they decided to keep him until the end of the season.
