Will the Blues return with a third star and the Cup at home? Facing the French, the Argentinians, led by Lionel Messi, are just as motivated to win the final this Sunday, December 18! But before this final duel, Internet users have already been able to read, on social networks, Twitter in particular, a few passes between President Macron and President Fernández! It first started with a message of congratulations after the French victory against Morocco in the semi-finals. “Good luck Sunday friends”, then sent Brazilian President Lula Da Silva to the Argentinian and French presidents. Emmanuel Macron then responded in Portuguese to this message of encouragement: “Thank you, my friend @LulaOficial”. And take the opportunity to address his Argentinian counterpart : “Dear @alferdez, one of us will have better luck… We’ll see which one on Sunday. In all friendship… in front of the Blues!”
Obrigado a você amigo @LulaOficial.Caro @alferdez, um de nós terá but sort… Veremos domingo qual. Com toda a amizade… em frente les Bleus! https://t.co/s3gk3ba0dc

“But, in advance, sorry for this afternoon”
In the land of tango, this tweet did not fail to make people react! And Alberto Fernández to draw a most explicit response: “Dear friend @EmmanuelMacron, I have a lot of affection for you and I wish you the best for the future” he wrote diplomatically at first. Before adding: “Except this Sunday. Argentina is my wonderful country, and it’s Latin America! Make way for blue and white!”, he concluded to support the victory of Albiceleste.
Oops ! It is tackled by heads of state. And, surprise, a few hours before kick-off, the French president wanted to continue this exchange: “All my friendship for Argentina and Latin America, my dear @alferdez” he first assured.“But, in advance, sorry for this afternoon”, he added, as a joke, certain of the superiority of the France team. And to conclude with a “Go Blues!”as a nod.
