Argentina men's national team head coach Lionel Scaloni abandoned a postgame interview following his side's dramatic comeback win against Egypt in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16.
Scaloni was overwhelmed with emotion after Argentina's remarkable victory that propelled them into the World Cup quarterfinals. After trailing 2-0, the defending champions netted three goals in just over 10 minutes to seal the comeback, which was naturally spearheaded by the legendary Lionel Messi.
The 48-year-old coach was so emotional that he couldn't finish his traditional post-match interview. When a reporter asked him how he was feeling, Scaloni responded, speaking in Spanish, "I can't look at you, I'm sorry, I'm too emotional, what a group of players, my brother, that's all... I have to go, I can't," as per The Mirror US.
