Goycochea reveals Argentina’s Italia 90 bonus, leaves everyone stunned | OneFootball

The former goalkeeper revealed that each player received 56 thousand dollars for reaching the final, a figure that was already agreed upon.

The former goalkeeper, a key figure in that World Cup, revealed that each received 56 thousand dollars. The amount came from dividing the seven matches played, at a rate of 8 thousand per match.

“We took home 56 thousand dollars and the glory. Glory has no price”, expressed Goycochea when recalling that experience. He also revealed that the prize was already agreed upon before the tournament and that it would have been the same even if the team had won the title, something that ultimately did not happen after the defeat in the final against Germany.

Goycochea was one of the great protagonists of that World Cup. After Nery Pumpido's injury, he earned the position and was decisive in the penalty shootouts against Yugoslavia and Italy, which led the team coached by Carlos Bilardo to the final.

Beyond the money, “Goyco” himself made it clear that what remained from that World Cup was much more than a financial reward.
