The path of the South American team ended soon and also that of a golden generation.
Portugal and South Korea they were left with the classification to the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. The team led by Diego Alonso leaves the tournament with a defeat, a draw and a victory. What is most striking, however, is the necessary renovation that the historic South American team needs.
Some players who “burned their last cartridges” were part of the historic fourth place in South Africa 2010, they won the 2011 Copa América and participated in the 2013 Confederations Cup.
