Mirtha Legrand Says She Filmed World Cup Ad With Lionel Scaloni

Her June 20 television recollection gave a close, personal portrait of the Argentina coach that fed public interest in the team’s World Cup figures.

Overview

  • On her La noche de Mirtha broadcast, which aired June 20, Legrand described filming a short commercial with coach Lionel Scaloni and said she was struck that “he looked at me a lot.”
  • Legrand praised Scaloni’s demeanor as charming, sensible and intelligent, adding that the ad’s dialogue was brief and that “he acted” during the shoot.
  • She recounted production details including that Scaloni arrived with his sister, they shared a meal with cast and crew, and photos were taken during breaks.
  • One outlet reported the spot was for Shell and filmed days before the World Cup, but that brand attribution has not been independently confirmed in the coverage.
  • No public response from Scaloni or the advertiser has appeared in these reports and the account rests on Legrand’s first‑person recollections, which reflect broader public enthusiasm for Argentina’s team.
