You've got to see it: AFA's special video a month before the final | OneFootball

The official account of the Argentina national team posted an emotional video recalling Lionel Scaloni’s team’s run in the last World Cup, one month after the final lost to Spain. In the post, the AFA once again states its position on the conspiracy theories that caused so much uproar among fans since that match.

“A month ago, something happened. What happened was something many didn’t want to happen: Argentina reached another final. And that happened, even though many want to overlook it,” the narrator says at the start of the recording.

“What happened was that we came back in every match we played, that we made history by knocking out England in a semifinal. But do you know what else happened? That this group came with the goal of giving people another final.”

Then, the wave of criticism the national team faced during the World Cup was mentioned. “No matter how much anti-Argentina campaigning went on, we got there anyway. So when someone tells you something happened, you tell them yes. What happened was that there was a team that gave everything to win, that fought until the end with its head held high, that never gave up. And even though it had won everything it played, this time it had to lose, and that could happen because, as Scaloni says, the opponent plays too.”

Lastly, there was a reference to Lionel Messi: “Do you know when the most important thing happened? At the very end, because our captain’s tears taught us once again that you can win or lose, but what you can’t do, no matter what happens, is stop trying. Always with you, Argentina.”
