Brazil currently holds third place in the South American World Cup qualifiers, while reigning champions Argentina sit at the top of the table. The two football powerhouses are set to clash once again in a crucial qualifying match.
The historic rivalry between these teams always brings high-intensity encounters, with emotions running high both on and off the field. Fans and players alike feel the tension of the "Super Clásico," making every match a spectacle.
This time, Brazilian forward Raphinha has added extra fuel to the fire with his bold pre-match statement.
Speaking in an interview with Brazilian legend Romário, Raphinha confidently declared: "We will absolutely defeat them—there’s no doubt about it. Whether on the field or off it, we are going all in. I’m going to score, and we will give everything we have to win."
Brazil last defeated Argentina on July 3, 2019, in the Copa América. Since then, the teams have met four times, with Argentina winning three and one match ending in a draw.
Their last World Cup qualifier in November 2023 was marred by clashes between players, sparking controversy and even leading to a match cancellation. Now, with another heated encounter on the horizon, fans are speculating about possible tensions. Raphinha's fiery remarks have only intensified the anticipation.
