"The match was completely insane. For me, as a coach, I know that we had a good match. We could have won it in the first 90 minutes. However, it wasn’t possible, I wasn’t lucky enough.

"We had a great performance in this match and what about my feelings? Well, I have the best feelings ever.

"It wasn’t in my plans. I didn’t envisage to be World Cup winners but now we are and the most important thing is how we achieved this."

"First of all, we need to save him a spot for the next World Cup 2026. If he wants to keep playing, he’ll be with us. I think that he’s more than entitled to decide whether he wants to keep playing for Argentina or not, or what he wants to do with his career.

"It’s such a huge pleasure for us to coach him and his team-mates.

"Everything that he meets until his team-mates is something unparalleled, something I’ve never seen before. A player, a person who gives so much to his team-mates."
