Nicolás Tagliafico is Lyon’s only player through to the 2026 World Cup final, despite a stop-start season at club level.
Le Progres notes that the Argentine left-back endured a chaotic 2025-2026 with Lyon, slipping in form and discipline. The 33-year-old received a three-match ban in March for a dangerous tackle on Monaco’s Lamine Camara, then lost his place during the run-in.
For the Albiceleste, the picture changed. Arriving short of fitness, he was ruled out of the opening group game against Algeria.
He rediscovered sharpness at the right time and re-established himself as a cornerstone of Lionel Scaloni’s set-up.
In the semi-final win over England, he played 80 minutes before making way for Lautaro Martinez, who scored.
