Brazil has not won against Argentina for half a century, not just a year or two. Even during this time, the five-time world champions have not been able to score a single goal in Argentina’s net. This time, Brazilian winger Rafinha wants to break that streak.

Before taking the field against Argentina, he gave a fiery speech to his teammates and fans. He said in a promising tone, ‘We will definitely beat them. We will crush them. On the field and if necessary, off the field. I am definitely going to score goals. We will take the field with everything we have.’

However, the task that will not be easy for Brazil is not easy to understand even by looking at the recent past. In the last six years, the two teams have met four times, of which Brazil has lost three matches and drawn the other.

Brazil will take the field against Argentina in the early hours of tomorrow, March 26, Bangladesh time. Stars like Rafinha, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are in form ahead of this match. The match is particularly meaningful for Argentina. Because the current world champions will secure the 2026 World Cup as the first team from the Latin region if they can at least draw against their arch-rivals. And the Seleção are determined to thwart Argentina’s goal.

Meanwhile, while Rafinha is tense before the match against Argentina, Argentina’s World Cup-winning coach Lionel Scaloni is keeping a cool head. In his words, ‘A fighter on the field and a friend off the field. I don’t want to go too deep into the player’s statement. But I know about it. Argentina vs. Brazil is an important match. But even then, it’s a football match. It shouldn’t go beyond that.’
