Argentina lost 0:1 to the Spanish national football team in the final.
Although the match went into extra time, the South American team played with a man down. In the 90+3 minute, Argentine footballer Enzo Fernandez dangerously tackled Pau Cubarsi and earned a yellow card.
Moreover, this was his second such card, as he received the first one after talking to the referee. This meant that Argentina had to fight 10 against 11 in extra time.
Having disappointed his country, E. Fernandez went to the locker room, although fans had not yet forgotten his excellent goal against England in the semi-finals. It was after his shot that Argentina soon scored a second goal. This then allowed the reigning world champions to advance to the final.
E. Fernandez, who caused many sighs of disappointment, shared a message after the final.
Over time, you realize that there are much more important things than the result.
For many years, this team has represented our country in the best possible way.
It shows that competing means not only winning, but also giving everything for the jersey and never giving up. Being part of this team, which always fought to the end and defended these colors with pride, humility, and dedication, is something I will cherish for a lifetime.
