Leandro Paredes has broken his silence after Argentina’s World Cup final defeat. The midfielder faces uncertainty with FIFA set to investigate the ugly scenes despite his red card being removed.
Despite the controversy surrounding his actions, Paredes chose not to address the post-match brawl in his first public comments; instead, he declared that it was a massive honour to be part of the best Argentine national team in history.
Paredes added that he and his teammates will be remembered for giving their all to represent their country.
His words, “THANK YOU, ARGENTINA!!! I LOVE YOU, TODAY AND ALWAYS. Today, I write with a heavy heart, having been unable to bring our country the joy it so richly deserves – but with a chest full of pride for having given everything we had and for flying our flag at the very top once again!
Thank you to everyone who was part of this team, to this group of players who gave their all to represent this jersey, just as they did until the very last second of every match! It was an honor to be part of the best Argentine national team in history!”
