The big transformation came in 2021 when he led his country to crown the Copa America at the expense of Brazil at the Maracana Stadium, then added the “Fenalesima” Cup title against Italy in 2022. In the same year, history was written by Tango to win the World Cup in Qatar after a final epic against France, to immortalize his image while raising the most expensive cup.
