In the lead-up to this highly anticipated match, the defender expressed that he is fully embracing the team’s situation, emphasizing that Argentina carries the significant burden of expectations as the reigning champions.

‘They have to come out and defend their title. There’s absolutely no pressure on us.
‘It resonates tremendously with each and every one of us. I believe you can see that while there have been tough moments on the pitch, no one has been rattled by it.
‘Everyone has remained incredibly composed, looking at one another with a shared understanding. From the very first camp, the manager’s message has been about brotherhood, being there for each other, and providing support.
