Slavko Vinčić was calm, as on any workday. Until someone told him the words every referee dreams of hearing someday: he will officiate the final between Argentina and Spain.
He couldn’t hide it. His eyes filled with tears right there, in front of cameras that weren’t expecting to capture something like that. The Slovenian has been refereeing matches for years, but nothing had prepared him for that moment.
Because some finals are played on the field and others are won long before, as soon as you find out you’ll be there. Vinčić has already won it. 🥹❤️
