UNCOVERED: Why west ham striker will never forget what argentina boss lionel scaloni did against liverpool - The Untold Story

Liverpool fans may not have noted the presence of Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni on the touchline in Qatar - but the 44-year-old played a pivotal role in one of the Reds' most famous moments.

Scaloni guided his Argentina side to the World Cup final on Tuesday after beating Croatia 3-0. Manchester City's Julian Alvarez bagged an impressive brace at the Lusail Stadium but it was Lionel Messi - just nine years younger than his boss at 35 - who ran the show as he looks to add a world title to his decorated trophy cabinet.

Scaloni only took on the role in 2018 and has already guided the South American side to a Copa America triumph. But while his four years in management have been relatively plain sailing, he will be remembered on Merseyside and in East London for a match-defining error.
