The attacker stood in front of his Argentine colleagues once the match was over and with a smile on his face made gestures that caused discomfort in the national team, who gathered together to reproach the Frenchman for his actions, but the others intervened to prevent the confrontation from getting out of hand.
Nicolás Otamendi, Leandro Brey and Lucas Beltrán were the three Argentines who led the response against Millot and crossed paths with the French in a brawl that involved almost all of the two teams.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli got into an argument with left-back Kiliann Sildillia over his provocations at half-time, when France was already winning 1-0 in Bordeaux.
This moment did not go unnoticed by Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev, who sent off Millot for gestures that “incited hatred” once the Argentines had run down the tunnel to the changing rooms after the brawl, and the home side returned to celebrate with their fans.
In the preview, again against the anthem
During the quarter-finals of men’s football at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, an Argentine team once again witnessed French fans booing the national anthem.
With the stadium almost full and with great expectations for what was shown in the last match, the public, which was almost entirely local, made itself heard during the intonation of the Argentine national anthem and whistled it throughout its duration, in front of the impeccable singing of the players of the team directed by Javier Mascherano.
