“Between the Mexican manager and this guy I’ve got a new love for Mexicans, they’re passionate fans but also have great humility and humour.”

However, it was Ferran Torres who scored the goal in Argentina’s net in the 106th minute of extra time, thanks to the brilliant assist made by Nico Williams.
