"I forgive him." Scaloni responded to Raphinha's statements

Matches between Argentina and Brazil are among the most intense in the world when it comes to national team football. It's no wonder that after the latest defeat, the "Seleção"'s Raphinha got into a spat with Leandro Paredes. However, the head coach of the "Albiceleste," Lionel Scaloni, doesn't see this as something negative.

Details: The coach of the Argentine team did not get angry with Raphinha but stated that he understands his emotions, as he was defending his team and did not intend to offend anyone.

Quote: "I forgive Raphinha because I know he didn't do it on purpose. He's defending his team, and he didn't mean to. With statements or without, we would play our game, and they theirs. I forgive him because I'm sure he didn't want to offend anyone," Scaloni said in an interview with Globo.

Reminder: Argentina had already secured their spot in the 2026 World Cup before this match.
