Episode Details

With 17 veterans from the 2022 squad, including Messi, coach Scaloni bets on continuity, despite recent injury concerns. The “champion’s curse” looms large, as most 21st-century winners have stumbled — but Messi, like Garrincha in 1962, could be the spark that turns Argentina’s dream into reality.
