Niko Paz and Giovanni Simeone were in the starting lineup for Argentina in their final group stage match, with Lo Celso, Lautaro, and Messi scoring in the Albiceleste’s 3-1 victory.

The Como superstar and the Torino forward played alongside each other in a World Cup knockout match, just as their fathers had done in the 1998 tournament!

Pablo Paz and Diego Simeone were both on the field at the same time during Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Croatia, with Mauricio Pineda scoring the goal, before the knockout stage of the tournament held in France.

Paz was a starter, and “Cholo” had come on as a substitute in the 67th minute.
