The rivalry between Argentina and Brazil has always been one of the most heated games in soccer. Both teams give their all in during their clash and miss no opportunity to take a jibe at their opponents. The ongoing U17 World Cup saw the Lionel Messi-led Albiceleste take on the Selecao in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Argentina’s seventeen-year-old superstar scored a stunning hattrick to propel his side into the semi-finals. Following the game, the player replicated senior star Alexis Mac Allister’s jibe, taking a dig at the Selecao.

Argentina had rather successful outings this week. While the U17 side punched their ticket to the semi-finals of the World Cup, the senior side bagged a crucial 1-0 win over Brazil in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Claudio Echeverri mirrors Alexis Mac Allister to take a dig at the Selecao

Argentina put on a remarkable display in the quarterfinals of the U17 World Cup. The side locked horns against their arch-rivals, Brazil, with the ticket to the semi-finals at stake. The Albiceleste romped through their opponents thanks to a stunning hat trick from Claudio Echeverri that gave Brazil no chance to make a comeback throughout the game. Following his side’s 3-0 win over Brazil, Claudio Echeverri took a jibe at his opposition claiming, “Winning against Brazil is a s*x.”

His words are pretty similar to senior Argentine star Alexis Mac Allister who took a similar jibe at the Selecao. The Liverpool star, following Argentina’s latest win over Brazil in the World Cup Qualifiers, claimed, “Winning against Brazil at Maracanã in a World Cup qualifiers is like watching p**n.”

Mac Allister’s words show how seriously the two sides take their rivalry. Both Argentina are the hot favorites to finish at the top of the standings in the World Cup Qualifiers.
