“We couldn't let the people down”: Martínez on the Malvinas flag

In the midst of the celebrations in Atlanta, Lisandro Martínez and Giovani Lo Celso unfurled a flag bearing the message “The Malvinas are Argentine”. When asked about this powerful gesture of vindication, the center-back delivered a forceful line: “We couldn’t let the Argentine people down”. Watch the video with his statement!
