Overview
- Late May Tigres lost the Concacaf Champions final to Toluca on penalties after a 1-1 draw, with Correa scoring his spot kick while teammates Gorriarán and Purata missed.
- Lionel Scaloni did not include 31-year-old Ángel Correa on his finalized 26-player Argentina roster for the 2026 World Cup and there are no reports of a selection reversal.
- Correa’s partner, Sabrina Di Marzo, published a long Instagram message with two photos that show him upset and praised his effort, writing that life offers second chances.
- The combination of the club defeat and the national-team omission produced visible emotional distress captured in the images and drew widespread media attention to Scaloni’s selection choices.
- Correa was part of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup squad and has been a recurring attacking option under Scaloni, so his exclusion removes an experienced forward and could shape public debate and Tigres’ short-term plans.
