There was chaos at the Olympics on Wednesday when a game descended into chaos. A former Liverpool player caught in the middle of it all.
Javier Mascherano called Argentina’s Olympic opening match against Morocco “the biggest circus he has ever seen in his life” as his team lost 2-1 in Paris. Indeed, it was a match like no other as the North African team won. a historic victory.
But much more will be remembered about the chaos that surrounds it.

Morocco took a 2-0 lead here, forcing Argentina to fight back. They took an advantage, when Giuliano Simeone took another in the 68th minute.
The world and South American champions then looked for another goal and, despite everything, put the ball in the back of the net thanks to Christian Medina in the 16th minute of added time. An incredibly late goal, therefore, that many Moroccan enthusiasts simply may not handle.
Several invaded the box and threw firecrackers and bottles at the Argentine bench. As a result, the referee blew his whistle, leading many to believe that he had ended the attack (including on the FIFA website).
But he hadn’t. Instead, the players were evacuated from the field and the next 90 minutes saw the stadium emptied of their supporters. Both groups were then taken back into the box to play the last 3 minutes of stoppage time.
Not before VAR overturned the equaliser. That’s right: it didn’t even matter what purpose motivated everything.
“I don’t know what happened. We spent about an hour and a half in the locker room where they never told us what was going to happen,” Argentine coach Mascherano said after the game.
“The Moroccan captains didn’t need to play, we didn’t need to continue and the fans threw things at us. This is the biggest circus I’ve ever seen in my life, I don’t know why they spent an hour and 20 minutes reviewing a play.
“If there is offside in Medina’s goal, let the fitting continue with the momentum we have, I don’t think the fit will be played 3 minutes after an hour and a half. “
And that’s not even all.
Mascherano also revealed that his team was robbed of an educational session.
“Yesterday they entered our school and robbed us. Thiago Almada was missing a watch, rings and everything related to education at the Olympic Games. We didn’t need to say anything after education. “Mascherano said, through ESPN FC.
It is therefore an absolute farce, which means that the Olympic football tournament is off to a terrible start. Of course, Liverpool enthusiasts probably wouldn’t be surprised, as they had to deal with security in Paris in the 2024 UEFA Champions League final.
It’s a crisis and things don’t seem to have gotten better.
