Argentina woke up hurting after the defeat in the World Cup final against Spain.

Losing was hard, but the manner of the defeat made it even harder.

Argentina became the first national team in history not to register a shot in 90 minutes during a World Cup final.

On top of that, Leo Messi did not touch the ball in Spain’s penalty area, something that reflects both the poor performance of the Albiceleste and of Leo himself.

After this, it remains to be seen whether Leo will try again with Argentina in 2030 or not, although that seems very unlikely.
