He fought with Messi in Qatar, now he would play for Real Madrid for 60 million

The Argentine National Team embroidered its third star on the shield on December 18, 2022. The remembered final against France at the Lusail stadium in Doha, Qatar, allowed Lionel Messi to remove that thorn that had remained stuck after the great event in 2014 , where Argentina lost the final to Germany at the Maracaná Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The number 10 and his teammates were able to prevail over France despite the fact that the Gauls had a stellar performance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored 3 goals in 120 minutes and his penalty in the definition.

That consecration will remain in the memory of 46 million souls who celebrated a historic title. However, before beating France in the penalty shootout, the Argentine National Team had to overcome difficult obstacles, although the most difficult of them was the quarterfinals against the Netherlands. However, Didier Deschamps cannot overcome that 3 to 3 that ended up being decided in the penalty shootout in favor of the Albiceleste.

The coach of the French National Team could not leave aside the importance of the final that they lost to Argentina last year. “It is possible that Messi wins the Ballon d'Or because, unfortunately for France, he won the World Cup. It is difficult to say that Messi is better than Ronaldo or Mbappé, who is younger, but the Argentines say that he is the best of all time,” said Didier Deschamps.

That match against Louis Van Gaal's team had a risqué development, with a heart-stopping outcome with Wout Weghorst's 2 goals. After the match, which had a penalty shootout where Emiliano Martínez had an outstanding performance, the memorable phrase that Messi said to the Dutch scorer was given: “Go over there, fool.”

The Dutchman who can move to Real Madrid

Denzel Dumfries was portrayed when he wanted to make Lautaro Martínez nervous when the 'Bull' was going to kick the defining penalty. The Inter Milan full-back is precisely on Real Madrid's radar, according to Defensa Central. Martínez's teammate is valued at 60 million euros on Transfermarkt, although they also say that the Spanish team could wait until 2025 and sign him as a free player.
