Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final on Sunday. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni conceded that Spain was the better team during the match, though he expressed pride in his players for leaving everything on the pitch and giving their utmost despite relinquishing the title.
In emotional remarks following the defeat, Scaloni was seen leaving his post-match news conference in tears. He stated that he would need to think about what comes next for him.
Scaloni also noted that it would be difficult to assemble another squad capable of reaching two consecutive World Cup finals. Meanwhile, several Argentines said that the semi-final victory over England had left them satisfied enough.
