The incredible excuse that Deschamps made when losing the final against Messi and Argentina
After renewing his contract with the French Federation, the manager referred to the final in which he was submitted by the Albiceleste
The World Cup final in Qatar took place a couple of weeks ago and is still being analyzed. Now, Didier Deschamps, who extended his link with the French Federation and will continue to command the French until 2026, gave an incredible excuse after being subdued by Lionel Messi and the Argentine team, at the Lusail stadium.
The box game led by Lionel Scaloni was almost perfect. The Albiceleste dominated 80 minutes of the match and two oversights caused the agonizing tie for the Europeans. In the extra time, once again the national team took the lead and the genius of Kylian Mbappé was present to force the game to be decided in a penalty shootout, where 'Dibu' Martínez was the figure.

In this context, Deschamps spoke again about what the final was and forgot about self-criticism. Before the game he had spoken about the physical condition of his players and now he reiterated that this was a trigger for him to lose the final. "In the starting lineup there were five players who, for different reasons, were not at the level for a game like this," he said at a press conference.
Argentina was superior line by line and Scaloni gave a master class:
The world champion showed his hierarchy and prevented France from developing their game. Lionel Scaloni read the match almost perfectly and Argentina managed to get its third world star in history. Now, the Albiceleste focuses on the following sporting challenges, such as the South American Qualifiers and Copa América 2024.
