The Bruno family was among an ecstatic group of soccer fans following Argentina’s magical win over France at Sunday’s FIFA World Cup final in Qatar
Sunday’s back-and-forth affair between Argentina and France at the FIFA World Cup final left local soccer fans holding their breath – especially the ones who came together at Montana’s to cheer on Argentina.
After Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María put Argentina up 2-0 in the first half, France’s young star Kylian Mbappé tied the match with two quick goals in the 80th and 81st minutes.“I was feeling good when it was 2-0,” he says. “But in the back of my mind, I was thinking about the Netherlands match when they came back down by two as well. I had a feeling something like that could happen, and it did.
Argentina went on to secure their first World Cup win since 1986 after defeating France 4-2 in penalties, which sent the group of around 50 Argentinian supporters at Montana's into celebration. “As somebody who was born in Argentina, all I can say is that it was a crazy emotional rollercoaster packed with beautiful goals and epic saves,” Bruno’s dad Mauricio says. “Our legendary captain Lionel Messi got us the most desired and precious trophy in the sport.”
