He wanted to play with Messi, what Garnacho did when he found out about Scaloni's list
The Manchester United winger was hoping to be the surprise in the World Cup squad.
Although Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Argentine team, had practically defined the list that will travel to Qatar for the World Cup, there was hope in a certain sector of the fans that the name of Alejandro Garnacho would be the surprise in the final call. However, the manager excluded the young winger, who wanted to be with Lionel Messi and reacted through social networks.
Scaloni socialized the list of 26 players who will represent Argentina in the Qatar World Cup, where Albiceleste will face Arabia in the group stage Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland. With Giovani Lo Celso out, the Copa América champion coach excluded Ángel Correa and closed the call.
