"It hurts whoever it hurts and say whatever they want, we proved once again on the pitch that nobody gives us anything."

"We came in under fire, with a lot of doubts, but I knew this group always competes. I was sure we would be among the final four and, thank God, we made it into the top two."

Likewise, Leo said that the only thing left for him was to beat England in his career, which made this match especially significant given the historical context the Argentinians were facing.

"If we had lost against England, people would have come out and talked some nonsense about us, but we didn't give them the chance. We were lucky to win, to get through this, with everything this match means."
