Argentina preserved the essentials on Tuesday evening. Four days after its culpable defeat in Paraguay (2-1), the Albiceleste took advantage of the visit of Peru to return to victory, winning by the smallest of margins (1-0). Enough to make world champions happy.
Thanks to this success, the Argentines not only consolidated their leading position in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup but also retained their first place in the FIFA Ranking. A relief for Lionel Scaloni’s men, who had to wait until the 55the minute to see Lautaro Martinez take advantage of an offering from Lionel Messi to score the only goal of the match.
“What are you doing, stupid?” »
Until this goal, the former Barcelona player had appeared struggling and quite annoyed. As evidenced by his collision at 36e
minute with Carlos Zambrano. When he had just controlled then shot from the left at the entrance to the area, the Argentine playmaker received a delayed charge and a blow to the face from the Peruvian defender. Enough to make him unpin.
“Que haces bobo?” » (“What are you doing, stupid?”), he then told him according to the images captured by Argentine television. Words which are reminiscent of those made to Dutch striker Wout Weghorst after the quarter-final between Argentina and the Netherlands (2-2, 4 tab 3) during the World Cup in Qatar. « ¿Que miras, bobo? Anda pa’ alla, bobo! » (“What are you looking at, idiot? Get out of there, idiot”)he said, with a dark look, while he answered a journalist’s questions.
