Lionel Scaloni Already Thinking About the Final Against Spain: 'We Will Do Absolutely Everything to Win'

Argentina's national football team has once again demonstrated its resilience, overcoming a challenging semifinal match against England to secure a spot in the final. The reigning world champions will now defend their title against Spain this Sunday in New York.

Coach Lionel Scaloni expressed his pride in his players' performance, stating, "We will do absolutely everything to win." He highlighted the team's unique spirit and unwavering determination, noting, "We are unique, truly, and it's not arrogance, it's heart, we are unique. These people today carried us to win the match, so I am grateful."

Scaloni attributed the team's ability to triumph in difficult situations to the "extreme conditions" under which the players grew up. He described them as resilient individuals who were accustomed to competition from a young age and do not feel the weight of responsibility. "This team plays best when it's in difficulty and when it smells blood, that's when we go," he added.

Argentina and Spain, winners of the Copa América and the Euro respectively, were previously scheduled to play the Finalissima in March, but the match was canceled due to disagreements over the venue. Now, the clash to determine the world's best team will take place on the biggest stage. Scaloni acknowledged Spain as a formidable opponent, stating, "Spain is a great team and beat France very well. We already analyzed them in March. They continue to be a great team and everyone knows how they play. We are prepared to face it. We are prepared to face what's coming."
