Argentina defeated Switzerland and advanced to the World Cup semifinals, but the moment that took over social media was not a goal.
In the mixed zone, a journalist asked Rodrigo De Paul how he experienced the victory because, according to what they told him, he had “a special visitor” in the stands.
The footballer could not hide his emotion: “With all these matches, she suffers more than I do, but I can’t talk much about her because the truth is that I get very emotional”, he replied, referring to his partner, Argentine singer Tini Stoessel.
When he was asked why that happened to him when talking about her, the answer was simple and direct: “It’s because she’s a great woman, my great companion”. He said it with a huge smile, although his eyes were almost filling with tears, a pure mix of football and love. 😭❤️
