Argentina’s national team continues to make history at the 2026 World Cup. On Saturday night, Lionel Scaloni’s team defeated Switzerland at Kansas City Stadium and secured their place in the tournament’s semifinals. But beyond the result, there was a moment that moved everyone present: Rodrigo de Paul’s tears when talking about his girlfriend, Tini Stoessel.
In the mixed zone, a journalist asked the Inter Miami midfielder how he had experienced the match, considering he had the «special visit» of the singer. De Paul, who celebrated the victory with his daughter Emilia on the field, became visibly nervous and his eyes grew teary. «She’s always at every match, she suffers more than I do. No, no… I can’t talk much about her because, honestly, she moved me a lot,» he said, clearly affected.
The footballer tried to shift attention to the team and the fans: «I tell Argentines that we love them very much, that there’s one less step to go, and that whatever happens, we’ll give our all to make it happen again.» However, the reporter insisted, asking why he gets so emotional when talking about Tini. De Paul, with a broken voice, replied: «She’s a great woman, my great partner… and that’s it.» He couldn’t continue; emotion overwhelmed him.
This tender gesture did not go unnoticed by the artist’s fans, who celebrated the player’s sensitivity on social media. The couple, who have been in a relationship for several years, often show great unity in key moments of both their careers. Tini, who accompanied De Paul to several World Cup matches, is a fundamental pillar for the midfielder, as he himself confessed.
The victory over Switzerland leaves Argentina one step away from the 2026 World Cup final. The next challenge will be in the semifinals, where the Albiceleste team will seek to continue dreaming of a back-to-back championship. Meanwhile, Rodrigo de Paul continues to show that, besides being a key player on the field, he has a huge heart.
