Technically there were better teams, but I liked the way the Argentines showed their character. I really enjoyed the World Cup.
I know what Leo strives for in the national team. I’m glad the tournament fell to him, because he’s sacrificed himself all these years, a lot has happened to him, and he’s taken a step forward to achieve that.
This is a trophy for South America, South Americans need to make sure they can compete with the Europeans,” said Atlético Paranaense midfielder.
