The national team was able to return to the Ezeiza ground, receiving affection every step of the way, holding celebrations, emotional tributes at CONMEBOL headquarters and football as well.

The small Caribbean team arrived in Santiago del Estero under the illusion of meeting 10 and playing arguably the most important game in its history, although it was not a rival and was already a landslide victory at the end of 45 minutes.
If there is anything to salvage from this game from a football point of view, it is the return of the one who was Leo’s best partner: Giovani Lo Celso, absent due to injury in Qatar, was responsible for movement in midfield and provided two assists to the 10 , which He achieved not only his 100 Albiceleste goals, but also 102. The other goals in the first half were from others who could not go to the World Cup such as Nico González and Enzo Fernández.
The second half was practically too much, only with time for substitutions, ovations and minutes for other champions. But also goals, as de Flea made an unprecedented decision in his history with the National Team, letting Ángel Di María finish a penalty kick so he can also convert. And the seventh belonged to another hero, Gonzalo Montiel, so that everyone has their moment in a perfect week, at the level of a team that has made history and can never be erased.
