On Saturday at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina easily beat Burkina Faso 7-0 in a friendly match. But Lionel Scaloni preferred to highlight the spirit of the Burkinabè: 'They honor football,' he said in a press conference.
The Stallions arrived in Buenos Aires only five hours before kickoff, after a long journey. The Burkinabè selection was largely made up of U23 players due to scheduling constraints.
Scaloni emphasized the commitment and courage of the young Burkinabè despite the difficult conditions. A defeat that leaves regrets but also great pride for African football.
