Ladies and gentlemen...

Argentina’s fourth penalty...

If Gonzalo Montiel scores
Argentina win the World Cup.

Go Montiel!

Go Gonzalo!

When Argentina arrived in Qatar
they were thirty-six games unbeaten.

Expectations were very high.

The nickname "La Scaloneta"
comes from what Scaloni

managed to convey to
his players, and to the fans.

I think all the players
were convinced that their

main objective was to make
Messi a world champion.

The players understood Scaloni.
He convinced them of his project.

He transformed the Argentine national team
and the fans into fanatics.

At every World Cup that I’ve travelled to
it’s always the same.

The Argentina fans always follow
and are everywhere.

This World Cup was crazy.

Many people were foreclosing
their houses and selling

their cars to buy tickets
to come and see us play.

I saw it on TV and on
social media. The lengths to

which the people went
always put a smile on our faces.

There was such fervour in the country

that the players had taken it upon themselves
to say that they had to be careful.

They said that you can't take things
for granted, you have to be calm

and you don't win
anything before you play.

Saudi Arabia was a reality check
that helped us understand

that the World Cup is built
one game at a time.

Well, it was a very
strange match.

It’s a penalty to Argentina
within the first eight minutes.

In the first half, we did what
we had set out to do.

The game plan was very straightforward.

The World Cup was only a few minutes in
and we were already winning.

I think we had about four or
five chances to make it 2-0.

We missed out on three
goals and were beginning to feel

a bit down because we
weren’t dominating the match.

We were confident at half time

but football can change course from
one minute to the next.

Saudi are leading 2-1
after a stunning goal.

We didn’t expect such a difficult
match. It was a shock.

Saudi Arabia have come
out on top with a 2-1 win.

You just can’t believe it.

They’ve made history.

It was as if we were slapped in the
face and we couldn’t wake up.

Imagine that coming
off the back of a defeat,

if Mexico had scored against us,
it would have been a crushing blow.

For me it was the toughest game
I played at the World Cup.

If it didn’t go well we would
be going home empty-handed.

They had always played with a 4-3-3 formation
and Tata surprised us by playing 3-5-2.

We knew how to play against
them theoretically,

but the match was not straightforward.

The first half was challenging for us.
We couldn’t get close to the goal.

At half-time we made
some adjustments.

We adapted the team to what we thought
we had to do to win.

And it happened.

We scored the first goal and
I became tearful.

I thought: “We’re going to win this match”
But it really was a tough game for me.

Then we had Enzo’s magic.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the suffering is over.

Argentina 2-0 Mexico.

We are in the race for the World Cup.

Obviously we had to play the game
and get the victory,

and we couldn't overlook the
lesson of Saudi Arabia.

But we started to believe in ourselves
even more in the game against Poland.

Di María moves forward.

He moves it to the right where Molina is,
who puts it into the middle...

Alexis has scored!

What a great goal by Julián!

Argentina 2-0 Poland!

Argentina are in the next round.

The pressure was already
off after what we went

through in the group
stage, losing the first match.

At the end of the day what we try to bring
out is the “amateurism” of the players.

Like being a child dreaming about
playing in a World Cup.

Well, remember that feeling. You asked
for it, and here it is!

My most enjoyable day was
when all our families came.

There was a moment when our
kids were at the training camp

and they all played a
ten-against-ten game there.

It was a beautiful
moment, watching the kids

enjoying themselves
and being all together

We were like a family coming
together for the same dream.

Argentina started to play
progressively better.

We faced Australia.

There is a great
protagonist who is Messi,

in a very tense moment, a very close match

he takes it upon himself
to break that monotony

and to show why he's the best in the
world and one of the best in history.

Goal for Australia.

Goal for Australia ladies and gentlemen.

It’s the last chance before
the game is over.

It’s up to Dibu Martínez, who comes…

And Dibu Martínez has got it!

Dibu made that save at the end,
preventing an undeserved equaliser.

but hey, football can do
that to you.

I do remember a very, very tough opponent
who made things very difficult for us.

We are in the quarter-final
of the World Cup!

Next up is the Netherlands
on Friday at Lusail stadium.

There is a lot of history in World Cup
matches against the Netherlands.

The most recent was the semi-final we won
when we reached the final.

I think the game was
played the way a heated

quarter-final against a
rival should be played.

We have clashed many times before and have
a healthy rivalry so to speak.

Argentina have a penalty
in the 72nd minute.

Argentina 2-0 Netherlands!

Argentina look like they're
heading into the semi-finals!

We're into the tenth minute of stoppage
time and the Netherlands have a free kick

Koopmeiners steps up and plays it low...

and the Netherlands have scored.

It's not over yet.

We've got to keep fighting
right until the end.

There will be penalties!
There will be penalties!

Defending the first penalty
is like marking your territory.

Scoring isn’t going to be easy.

A teammate told me that after I saved two
penalties, they were much calmer.

And this made me feel good, knowing that
I helped my teammates feel more secure.

It’s been an unforgettable game!

Argentina v Croatia is the
semi-final on Tuesday.

Never in life should you stop believing.

At no point did they ever back down,
they played hard.

We spoke, they spoke, in the end, that's
what happens in a World Cup.

If you're unable to cope with
those things, you go home.

We were able to cope with it.

Today is the duel between two figures,

Lionel Messi and Luka Modrić.

Modric and Messi
in each of the teams.

An exciting match
that captivates the world.

Every game Croatia played, their midfield
dominated possession of the ball,

even against Brazil they
kept the ball.

So, we are talking about a team
that knows itself very well.

There were games where he did
things that he would do ten years ago,

to take on three or four players, and
they couldn't take it off him,

I don't need to tell Leo where to stand

because if he sees that the
right is open he stops there.

That creates a real sense of
danger in the opponent

and, for us, a sense of knowing
we have the ace of spades.

Go on Leo, go on, legend!

Leo keeps running, Leo keeps going,
what a move!

Leo’s still going and is about to
pull it back

Argentina are going to be in
the World Cup Final!

Many people do compare them.

People like my father compare Maradona,
or the new team with Messi.

It’s more about appreciating both.

Each player has their time.

I think Messi’s time as a
player is the best ever.

Football in Maradona’s time
was different to today.

I was personally fortunate to watch
Maradona and Messi play.

There’s a clear thing that they have
in common, regardless of footballing taste

and that is the love for
the Argentina colours.

That was never missing.

Argentina should enjoy
both players, as they’ve

given us so much joy and
that sense of belonging.

That’s the most precious legacy.

With a leader like Messi
I believe that everything is possible.

I think the stadium is not ready for
what can happen today...

neither Argentina, nor the Obelisk,
nor the city,

nobody is prepared for
what could happen today.

We had a chat with
the players, and we were

confident because we
had seen a lot of France.

There was a chance we could have played
them in the Round of 16 as well.

So, they were a familiar opponent, and we
were convinced that the game would go well

Our previous wins were in 1978 and 1986.

Ladies and gentlemen,
let the World Cup final commence!

Penalty, penalty, penalty!

Fantastic!

That’s a penalty for Argentina!

Angelito was brought
down in the penalty box.

The 23rd minute.

Messi will take this penalty with
everything he’s got.

Go on Leo.

Here goes Messi against Lloris.
Go on Leo...

Leo scores.
An Argentinian goal by Messi!

1-0 to Argentina.

Goal to Argentina.

Leo’s goal.

Argentina 1-0 France

in the final of the World Cup.

Who else but Leo? I love you.

Argentina go 1-0 ahead in the final
thanks to a penalty from Leo.

What a genius, a legend!

Let’s go my dearest Argentina, 1-0!

We normally play Angel or the winger
on the right side, but in this game

we decided to go down the left because we
thought we could have depth on that side.

This piece of paper is going
into a museum, right?

Yes, it's in my horrible handwriting,
but I like to write it like this,

with numbers, and explanations which
vary depending on the particular game.

You can have 1,000 ideas but they might
not come to fruition on the pitch.

There are times when possession
is excellent,

but to get to the opposition goal in
five, six or seven seconds

with the precision that
they do, is incredible

and that's what great players do.

We knew that the French squad is solid and
could dominate the match and score goals.

Otamendi is alive to the break
but now it’s with Kolo Muani!

It’s a penalty to France.

The reigning champions of the
world are fighting back.

Just 10 minutes left of this final.

Argentina leading 2-1.

It was one of the best
finals I’ve ever seen.

Argentina 2-2 France.
There will be extra time.

We felt Argentina had everything
under control

and in just two minutes,
we suffered again what had

happened to us in the game
against the Netherlands.

Hold on for ten more minutes!
I’m begging you! Let’s win this 3-2!

Handball by Montiel.

Penalty for France.

The score is 3-3.

If your head is down, your opponent will
trample over you and end up beating you.

So, we kept doing our job and I think
we deserved to win in extra-time.

Dibu makes a sensational stop
from a goal-bound effort!

What Dibu did was magical.

Argentina will have the last chance...

But it didn't happen and
we went to penalties.

You can’t be in total chaos
and full of adrenaline.

You have a moment to calm
those emotions

and the adrenaline you’ve been carrying
in the hours before the match.

Especially in a World Cup final where
you need it more than ever.

The group love him, he's a spectacular guy

And in the semi-final of
the Copa América against

Colombia he told the group
"I'm going to save two."

“You guys score
and I'll save two.”

That gives you a sense of confidence
that's difficult to explain.

The guy who's going to
take the shot is confident.

They know that the team
goes through if they score

because our keeper is
going to make the saves.

Let’s go Dibu!

Here comes Coman!

And Dibu saves it! Don’t worry,
Dibu's got it covered!

I wasn’t thinking about me,
I was thinking about my country.

I didn’t want to fail my team.

I wouldn’t call it pressure, but duty.

Everyone has their part to play.

Argentina’s fourth penalty...

Ladies and gentlemen...

If Gonzalo Montiel scores...
Argentina win the World Cup.

Go Montiel!

In that moment I wanted to celebrate
but my body couldn’t move.

It’s hard to explain what it feels
like being a World Champion.

All your teammates are
running and crying.

It’s a moment that makes me emotional
every time I think about it.

I can honestly say a big
part of the achievement

is thanks to the fans who were there.

Those who were in Argentina,
shouting at the TV

they were there too.
It gives you a boost.

It was an incredible experience.

Those lads made us fall in love again
with our national side.

It’s all thanks to their commitment,
determination

and the passion they put in
from the first game right up to the last.

I said on many occasions that my dream was
to win the World Cup with Argentina

and I was lucky enough to win
everything at national team level,

club level and as an individual.

What's more, I did this
all playing with joy and

having a great time
because I love what I do.

I've had a long career and
now it's coming to an end.

I couldn't ask any more than
to round it off like this.
