Argentina suffers setback in World Cup final
The Argentine national team suffered a major blow in the World Cup final against Spain, after their defender Lisandro Martínez was injured and had to leave in the 44th minute of the first half. This forced coach Lionel Scaloni to substitute him with Nicolás Otamendi just a minute before the end of the half. Losing Martínez is considered a significant loss for La Albiceleste, given his pivotal role in the defense throughout the tournament, contributing to reaching the final. The coach attempted to compensate for his absence by bringing on 38-year-old Otamendi to maintain defensive solidity against Spain's attacking strength.
