In a recent interview, he stated that he was not involved emotionally in Argentina’s triumph. He even hinted that he would have preferred that prance would have beaten his nation. He has not yet reached out to congratulate Messi. He admitted that he did not follow the World Cup closely this time. However, he liked the way France's team played. He last played in 2015 for Argentina’s national team.
He also stated that he had not yet congratulated Messi since his phone must be flooded with messages. However, his children did celebrate Messi’s victory. He also admitted that he was enjoying the phase when he was out of the active games. The last world where he played actively was for Boca Juniors. He states that the last assignment exhausted him.
