🚨Reporter- "Must have hurt losing after being 2-0 up?"
🗣️Mo Salah- "Well there's no shame in losing to the greatest player of all time, what he did today was incredible, he showed that he is still the best player in the world at 39. It was an honour to share the pitch with him"
Zlatan Ibrahimović on Hossam Hassan's claim that Argentina were favoured because of World Cup marketing:
🗣️ “Every time Messi wins, people suddenly start talking about conspiracies. It's the same story over and over again. Instead of accepting defeat, they look for excuses.
“If you're leading 2–0 and still don't win the match, don't blame marketing, the referees, or the tournament. Look at yourselves first. Football doesn't forgive mistakes, especially at the World Cup.
“I have no respect for excuses like that. A national team manager should be setting the example by taking responsibility, not creating narratives that take attention away from what happened on the pitch.
“Argentina fought until the end and earned their result. If you lose, accept it, learn from it, and come back stronger. That's what football is about.”
