Morocco shocked the football world at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. In the first match of the Olympics, the African lions stopped the world champion Argentina. However, the European champions started their Olympic campaign with a win. The young brigade of Spain defeated Uzbekistan.
All 23 teams will compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Each team can have a maximum of three players over the age of 23. There is no one like Lionel Messi in the current Argentina squad. Nicolas Otamendi and Julián Álvarez remain in the squad. Young Turkish Thiago Almada, who caught the eye at the 2022 World Cup, is also in the team.
However, La Albiceleste have looked shaky against Morocco, who have emerged as the new power in world football. Messi's successors trailed 2-0 until the 70th minute of the match. The situation escalated several times during the match. As a result, the game had to be stopped. The second goal came in the 15th minute of added time. But when Argentina scored in added time, the Moroccan fans were furious. The referee stopped the game. Argentina's goal was cancelled out after about two hours of play. In the end, Messi's country lost 2-1.
On the other hand, Spain, who recently became the champion of the Euro, has started the Olympic campaign. They beat Uzbekistan 2-1 in the first match of the group stage. Both goals were scored by Sergio Gomes. France will host the Olympics on Wednesday night. The focus will be on how Thierry Henry's students perform at home.
