Argentina’s triumph at the end of the last World Cup is not about to disappear, as evidenced by the welcome given to Lionel Scaloni’s players.

Earlier this week, Lionel Messi caused a crowd in the suburbs of the Argentine capital. His presence, and that of his family, in a restaurant in Palermo quickly leaked and soon hundreds of people were waiting for him at the exit, causing a riot. The player had painfully managed to reach his car while still smiling.

Always after the meeting against Panama, Emiliano Martinez has indeed reproduced the obscene gesture he had made during the delivery of the World Cup in December. “It was stupid what we did with the boys, but it’s the only thing I’m not proud to have done,” he said in February.
