Never in my life as an Argentina fan have I seen a national team like the current one.
Regardless of the players called up and their merit or lack of in being in the starting lineup, I

La albiceleste necesitaba resarcirse de la forma que fuera del desastre de La Paz, donde cayeron
ante Bolivia por 6-1 hace poco más de dos meses. Lo consiguieron, al menos en lo que al resultado
