French President Emmanuel Macron (44) did not miss this match: the French President watched the World Cup final in the stadium. Argentine President Alberto Ángel Fernández (63) is completely different. “Like millions of my compatriots, I will enjoy the World Cup final at home,” he wrote on Twitter. “I will live this fantastic moment together with my people as before.”
But it’s not a boycott of Qatari politics or FIFA that Fernández kept in Buenos Aires – but superstition, as he himself admitted: “Además, cabalas son cabalas.”
The “Albiceleste” lost last time
According to media reports, Argentine heads of state have stayed away for more than 30 years, his successors prefer to stay away from World Cup matches.
In any case, it seems to have paid off on Sunday: Argentina won the third world title in a very exciting match, Lionel Messi and his teammates are celebrated as gods in the land of the gauchos. And Fernández could cheer: «You are the example we must not give up. That we are a great people with a great future.” (sf)
