Football is about moments and there was a player who knew how to take advantage of his to shine in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Four years later, who embittered Lionel Messi and the National Team in the previous appointment, was left out of the competition.

His manager turned his back on him and he will not be in the tournament that will take place in the Middle East. This is the Croatian Ante Rebic. Zlatko Dalic announced the final list for the Qatar World Cup, where the winger did not appear, who ruined Argentina's aspirations in Russia 2018, when he was one of the figures in the 3-0 that condemned the team led by Jorge Sampaoli to second place and later to the elimination in the hands of France.

In Russia 2018, Rebic took advantage of a mistake by Willy Caballero to silence the thousands of fans who traveled to Europe. After the World Cup, he had two more seasons in the Bundesliga with the Eintracht Frankfurt shirt and in 2020 he was signed by AC Milan. In the last calls for Croatia he was not summoned and his manager decided to leave him out of the World Cup.

Now, Lionel Messi's Argentina is totally different from 4 and a half years ago, now even arriving at Qatar 2022 as one of the favorite national teams to win the World Cup this December.

The defeat against Croatia condemned Argentina:

After the draw against Iceland, on the first date of the previous World Cup, Argentina went with the obligation to overcome Croatia, however, suffered a serious setback and was thrashed. This forced the team captained by Leo Messi to beat Nigeria on the last day. La Albiceleste beat the Africans, advanced to the round in second place and was eliminated by France. For their part, the Croats reached the final.
