banner of Argentine fans in London before the clash with Italy

Argentine fans took to the Finalissima this Wednesday against Italy at Wembley Stadium with typical World Cup enthusiasm and proof of this was the massive demonstration this Tuesday afternoon in the heart of Wembley, where hundreds of fans carried out a boisterous “banderazo” in support of the Lionel Scaloni-led squad.

The appointment was in the traditional square of Trafalgar Square and in the call were fans dressed in Argentine shirts and a huge flag, who also hung huge rags with the face of Diego Maradona and the reference to “the best in the world” on the fences that surround the place.

This and the traditional chant “he who does not jump is an Englishman” They could not miss the obvious allusion to that unforgettable match against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Other manual songs such as “Come on, come on Argentina, come on, let’s win” and “I’m Argentine, it’s a feeling, I can’t stop”, also invaded the traditional London promenade with sound.

About a thousand fans traveled directly from Argentina to watch Wednesday’s game at 3:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. UK time) but another 50,000 who live in different parts of Europe They will be in the renovated Wembley stadium, which will only have 1,000 Italians and the rest, until completing the 90,000 that sold out, all locals.

Those who mostly sang for Maradona also ended up doing it for Lionel Messi. The Argentine captain was also the object of adoration on the part of the fans who began to experience the World Cup in Qatar in full on the last day of May, almost six months after its start.
