Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María almost saw their destiny escape them. Two years to the day after this legendary World Cup final won against the French team, for which we will not repeat the scenario to avoid rubbing salt in the wound, El Fideo gave an interview to the Argentine newspaper Olé. He notably returned to Kylian Mbappé’s equalizer from nowhere, which he did not find deserved. For him, the Blues never deserved to win this final anyway.
“I couldn’t believe it, and at the same time, I kept this faith that this victory could not escape us, that it could not happen to us again (to lose in the final, editor’s note). We had a spectacular World Cup, we did things almost perfectly in this final, with 75 minutes at an incredible leveltraces Di María. And then Kylian woke up… But it was absolutely not deserved for them, in any way. I think we had an extraordinary final and that we deserved to win this match. The only thing that came to my mind at that moment was that victory could not escape us.”
