The Qatar World Cup still brings back some memories to football fans.

Despite the fact that the Qatar 2022 World Cup ended months ago, the reality is that it was a memorable tournament that will remain to be remembered, as many interesting anecdotes arose. One of them, during Argentina vs Netherlands, one of the hottest matches.

This time it's about the left-back, Denzel Dumfries, a player for Inter Milan in Serie A. The Dutchman was responsible for starting a fight during Argentina vs. The Netherlands in the quarterfinals, and he specifically faced Lautaro Martinez.

Now, after being eliminated by Argentina from the World Cup held in Qatar, Dumfries went from being the undisputed starter at Inter Milan, to losing prominence in the team where Lautaro Martínez is captain. What's more, in the Champions League he was not returned to see by his manager, since Simone Inzaghi prefers the Italian Mateo Darmian over him.

The tense moment between Martínez and Dumfries in the penalty shootout:

Lautaro Martínez had access to the World Cup semifinal in Qatar on his feet. Before the crucial shot of the 'Toro', Dumfries wanted to approach to intimidate his teammate at Inter Milan, however, the striker did not flinch, he reached the penalty mark and settled the series in favor of the Albiceleste.
