La Seleccion crashed out after a 4-3 defeat to France in the Round of 16, having scraped through the group phase.
A guest on Italian television Mediaset, the former Parma, Lazio, Inter and Milan striker was asked what he thought of Argentina’s campaign.
“It was like the Gabriel Garcia Marquez book: The Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Disappointment is only natural in this situation, but to be honest, it was a miracle we got to the Round of 16.
“In fact, we only qualified for the World Cup at all thanks to Leo Messi. There were too many changes, too many situations that just weren’t linear.”
Although most of the blame is pinned on Coach Jorge Sampaoli, he refused to resign on today’s Press conference.
