Too Emotional: Scaloni Breaks Down After Argentina’s 3-2 World Cup Comeback

Too Emotional: Scaloni Breaks Down After Argentina’s 3-2 World Cup Comeback — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni was moved to tears after his team overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Egypt 3-2 in the World Cup Round of 16. Trailing by two goals with just over 11 minutes left, Argentina struck back through Cristian Romero and Lionel Messi. Enzo Fernández then sealed the win with a stoppage-time header, keeping the defending champions alive. In a post-match interview, Scaloni apologised and walked off camera, admitting, “I cried because I’m too emotional. But this team will never abandon the Argentine people.”

It's impressive to come back from 2-0 down, but it also highlights how Argentina's defence nearly cost them the match.
