Argentina ended a long wait at Qatar 2022, winning their third FIFA World Cup in history led by one of the best players of all time, Lionel Messi. Of course, the triumph was celebrated all around the planet as many wanted to see the PSG star lifting the trophy.

Lionel Scaloni’s team bounced back from a tough loss to Saudi Arabia in their debut, stringing good results together to set up a massive final against then reigning champions France.

The World Cup decider turned out to exceed expectations, as fans witnessed a dramatic game that went to penalties. While France are still trying to recover from that loss, Lens player Facundo Medina continues to mock them.

Medina, who had been called up by Lionel Scaloni during the World Cup qualifiers – making an appearance in the away win vs. Bolivia – is enjoying his time at Lens, who are second in the Ligue 1. Following his team’s recent win against Brest in the French Cup, Medina had a hilarious response to a reporter.

ā€œFacundo, are you broken? Don’t you want to come to the microphone just a minute?ā€ the reporter asked Medina in Spanish. ā€œThe French have been broken since the World Cup final,ā€ Medina joked.
