El destino es así, cuando los más grandes están por caer, los dioses del fútbol bajan y los ayudan inyectándoles el gen que les hizo escribir sus nombres en los libros de historia, esas deidades que hoy se niegan a que Messi y compañía renuncien a esta Copa del Mundo.
Momento decisivo para el equipo de Jorge Sampaoli en Rusia 2018, era ahora o nunca. Tras la desastrosa imagen plasmada en sus anteriores cotejos, Argentina se encomendó a la magia de “La Pulga”, y a la diestra de Marcos Rojo para superar a una gran Nigeria 1-2 y así salir airosa de esta situación que mantuvo en suspenso a hinchas y fanáticos del fútbol en todo el globo.
