Signed by Palmeiras in 2024, Agustín Giay has once again been called up to the Argentina national team. The right-back is enjoying a great run in the green-and-white shirt and has been earning more and more space.

In recent matches, the player scored his first goal and recorded his first assist for Verdão. Giay also came very close to playing in the 2026 World Cup: he was part of Argentina’s preliminary squad and stayed with the group until the opening matches of the tournament.

Meanwhile, forward Flaco López has been Palmeiras’ standout player this season. Verdão’s top scorer this year, the Argentine was called up to the national team again after an impressive 2026 World Cup.

At the World Cup, Flaco provided an assist in the match against Switzerland and helped Argentina reach the final, finishing as runners-up. Beyond football, the forward also gained worldwide recognition for a gesture that drew attention after the final: Flaco was the only Argentine player to applaud Spain, the tournament champions, in a show of respect for the opponent.
