Mascherano's fury after the National Team's draw with Venezuela: "With or without VAR, Argentina is always the loser". A ruling at the end of the game took away Argentina's chance of taking the three points.
"Look at the images of what has happened in all the games," said the coach, dissatisfied with the refereeing. Mascherano referred to the difficulties that will arise, after the expulsions of Valentín Barco and Gonzalo Luján and some ongoing injuries.
