The 2014 World Cup witnessed one of the biggest scandals in football history.
Argentina, predicted to be the champion, had to suffer a defeat from Germany.
Angel Di Maria, one of Argentina's stars, suffered a minor injury in the quarter-finals, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished. He insisted he was ready to play in the final, even if it meant risking his career.
However, Di Maria's dream was shattered by a letter from Real Madrid that forced Argentina's medical team to bench him.
Real Madrid, only concerned with money, feared Di Maria's market value would plummet if his injury worsened. They cruelly sacrificed a player's dream and a nation's hope for their own profit, a truly disgusting act.
The Argentine coach, who should have been the mastermind behind the team's strategy, succumbed to the pressure and nonsense from Real Madrid.
Di Maria was known as Argentina's mainstay in the final, a key player. He had proven himself by scoring in every final he played for his country.
Without his presence, Argentina lost its sharpness.
