Youngsters of the two South American countries end their match with a brawl
Brazil and Argentina are two countries that gave the world some of the best footballers over the years. One of the factors that pushed these two former World Cup-winning countries to produce so many talented players is the rivalry between them. But that rivalry sometimes produces ugly scenes - like the one today.
Fights break out at the end of the final of the Montaigu Tournament between Brazil U16s and Argentina U16s.

Playing in the Mondial de Montaigu 2022 youth tournament in western France, the under-16 national teams of Argentina and Brazil faced off for the title after dominating the tournament so far. And they managed to show the best and the worst their rivalry has to offer.
Brazil won 2-1 with Palmeiras' $40 million-rated 15-year-old wonderkid Endrick scoring in the first minute. Augustin Ruberto levelled for the Argies before Luis Guilherme scored the winner just before the break. It would be just another tournament and just another match, had the passions not boiled over in the end. In a mighty scuffle, an Argentine player tried to hit his opponent before all the players and members of staff from either side ran onto the pitch to try and prevent a full-blown incident from taking place.

You really can't predict the future, but some things will never change: Brazil and Argentina will continue to bring up supreme footballing talent - and they won't be friends.
