Lisandro Martínez posted after Argentina’s World Cup final loss, thanking the team, the fans and a message.
Martínez started for the Argentina national team in the World Cup final but was substituted out due to injury. Lisandro posted on his Instagram after the match. Here is what he posted:
“With a heavy heart for not having been able to bring home the cup that we all deserved but with pride bursting at the seams for this jersey, for my team mates, the coaching staff, the executives, the medical team, the cooks, the kit men and every single person who was involved to make all of this work in the best way possible. And above all, for you, who showered us with all your love, all your strength, that passion that so defines us and the unity of a nation that I hope endures over time.
“I want to congratulate Spain on their well deserved title.
“And to our people, I want to say that the result doesn’t define the journey we took. We faced adversities, we made the impossible possible and we never looked for excuses, only reasons to keep going. We defended our colors far beyond the pitch and shared unforgettable moments with the national team, alongside our families and with the unwavering support of all Argentinians. It will always be an immense pride to represent you.
“Remember that “the fall of the great is the joy of the mediocre”.
“Thank you all so much. Let’s take care of our country.
“I love you, Argentina.”
