The Argentine team will face Croatia, within the framework of the World Cup semifinals in Qatar. It is inevitable to remember the last time the Albiceleste faced the Europeans and the defeat suffered by the team led at that time by Jorge Sampaoli, who is now Sevilla's manager.

Now, the Argentine player who was singled out as the main culprit has been forgotten and nobody wants him in Europe. Argentina arrived at the 2018 World Cup in Russia with more doubts than certainties. They began their journey with a surprise draw against Iceland.

Then, they fell catastrophically to Croatia and reached the round of 16 after a dramatic win over Nigeria with a brilliant Lionel Messi. In this instance, it was eliminated by France, which later obtained the coveted title. In the group stage match against the Croats Willy Caballero was chosen by Sampaoli to guard the goal.

However, the goalkeeper had a hard time and his mistake allowed the first goal for the Europeans, converted by Ante Rebic. His mistake made the manager sit him down for the rest of the Cup and gave Franco Armani confidence against Nigeria and France.

Where is Caballero now?

After his World Cup with Argentina, Caballero has barely performed 24 times in Europe. He remained at Chelsea for three more seasons and, finding no place in the first team, was signed by Southampton, where he last made a save on March 2, 2022, in his team's win against West Ham.
