MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Argentine team will seek next Sunday to become a three-time world champion in its sixth final and finally return the throne of the World Cup to South America, something that has not happened for two decades when Brazil won its fifth star.
La Albiceleste, despite their bad start with the defeat against Saudi Arabia, has managed to reach the final fight to lift the Jules Rimet Cup, something they have not done since the conquest in Mexico ’86 by the hand of their other ’10’ from legend, Diego Armando Maradona.
That title joins the one achieved eight years earlier when it hosted in 1978, while the rest of its attempts, in 1930, 1990 and 2014, resulted in defeats against Uruguay, the Federal Republic of Germany and Germany, respectively.
Now, the two-time world champion, who will also seek to be the first current Copa América champion to be the world champion, aspires to become the fourth most successful team after Brazil (5), Germany (4) and Italy (4). To do this, she will have to end either the dominance of Europe, winner of the last four World Cups, if the rival is France, or prevent Africa from entering history, if it is Morocco.
