Brazil has not won against Argentina for six years. Far from winning, the Seleção have not even managed to score a goal against Argentina. Such information is a bit embarrassing for the five-time world champions. Of these, the two teams have faced each other four times, but Brazil has lost three of them and drawn the other match. However, this time Brazil wants to end this bad luck.
Brazil will take the field against Argentina tomorrow, March 26, Bangladesh time. And Brazil is desperate to end its 6-year wait with this match. The form of the team’s stars also speaks for itself. The performance of Rafinha, Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo, who are in peak form, can spoil Argentina’s celebration. However, Rafinha seems to be a little more interested among them.
He is having a great time. No matter the club Barcelona or the country Brazil, the color of the jersey, Rafinha’s performance is very bright. In an interview given to Brazilian legend Romario, the Brazilian star has confidently announced that Argentina will be defeated. However, this Barcelona star forward did not stop at just announcing the defeat, but rather promised that he himself will score a goal in the match.
“We will definitely beat them. We will crush them. On the field and if necessary off the field. I am definitely going to score. We will go out on the field with everything we have,” Rafinha said on ‘Romario TV’.
The Argentina-Brazil match has been a hot topic recently. In November 2023, the first leg of the World Cup qualifiers saw a brawl and clashes at the Maracana. The last time, footballers also joined in the protest. Both federations were punished by FIFA for that.
While Rafinha sees it as a ‘war’, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni sees this match as an important fixture, ‘Warriors on the field and friends off the field. I don’t want to go too deep into the player’s statements. But I know about it. Argentina vs. Brazil is an important match. But it’s still a football match. It shouldn’t go beyond that.’
