VfB Stuttgart's Nicolas Sessa beams after Argentina's dramatic 2:1 win over England in the World Cup semifinal. The 30-year-old midfielder celebrated with hundreds of Argentine fans in Fellbach as the Albiceleste advanced to the final. "Unbelievable, it's indescribable," Sessa told SWR.
How did Sessa react to the game?
Despite England's lead through Anthony Gordon (55'), Sessa remained confident: "I believed in it the whole time." His prediction of a 2:1 victory came true when Enzo Fernandez (85') and Lautaro Martinez (90.+2) turned the game around. The VfB player emphasized the team's unity: "Everyone fights for Messi."
Why is the final important for Argentina?
Argentina, like in 2022, will face Spain in the final. Sessa believes in the defending champions: "The team has shown in every game that they want to win." With 71 goals scored and 49 conceded (4th place, 62 points), VfB Stuttgart shows similar fighting spirit in the Bundesliga.
What's next for VfB Stuttgart after the World Cup?
After a 3:0 loss to Bayern Munich (2026-05-23) and recent form (1W-2D-2L), VfB Stuttgart's next match is on August 1 against Paris FC. Sessa hopes the World Cup euphoria will also inspire VfB.
