The Argentina team, against all odds, reached the final of the 2026 World Cup. The Albiceleste team lost the final against Spain, but reaching those stages was already a good sporting reward for the South American team. However, there has been much speculation about possible internal problems affecting the Albiceleste before the final. Lionel Scaloni talked about it.

The Argentine team seemed completely disconnected in the final. They were not able to make a shot on goal during the entire match. Arguments began to emerge on social networks that denoted a possible internal problem in the locker room.

Lionel Scaloni was questioned about it. The Albiceleste coach was completely incredulous at the question. The South American strategist believes that they are looking for “ghosts” where there are none.

"No, I have no idea. I don't know what you're talking about. I can't believe what you're asking me (...) I already think we're going somewhere, guys, really," said Lionel Scaloni.

Messi's video

The theories arose from a video of Lionel Messi before the 2026 World Cup final. The Inter Miami footballer encouraged his teammates before leaving the locker room. While many looked nervous, Messi motivated them to “forget everything that happened” and just focus on the game.

"Come on guys, calm down people, calm down. The main thing, let's be calm. Let's just think about playing, eh. Let's forget about everything. Let's just play, let's think about playing," Lionel Messi said in the video.
