Patrice Evra celebrating Argentina’s World Cup
The video is actually a repost from one he made in 2018, in that instance it was a message of peace after the ill-fated second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and River Plate. The second leg was suspended because River fans attacked the Boca Juniors team bus, breaking a window and injuring players with the broken glass.
The match was moved to Spain as a measure of safety where River Plate won 3-1 and took home the championship. Now using the festive mood of the video, the former French national team star sent his congratulations to Lionel Messi and company.
The video shows Evra dancing Argentine cumbia band “Los Pibes Chorros” and “drinking” mate while showing off his dance skills.
