Considering the drama-filled run Argentina has made to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, their stunning comeback and injury-time game-winner felt like another chapter in the team’s run. Even still, Argentina faced a 1-0 deficit against a stellar England squad in the semifinal, and didn’t break through until Enzo Fernández’s 85th-minute goal to equalize. With extra time seeming likely, though, that’s when even more magic happened as a beautiful cross from Lionel Messi was headed home by Lautaro Martinez in the 92nd minute.The moment was almost surreal for the Argentine side, while it was equally as devastating to England. The real-time celebrations, player reactions and much more have gone viral on social media, but one specific broadcast call may stand above the rest.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementArgentine announcer Pablo Giralt was on video during his call of the final stretch of the game, and his reaction, a tearful one filled with overwhelming emotion, is enough to give you chills, as Front Office Sports highlighted.Giralt’s emotional reaction was not only amazing but also understandable for many reasons. His incredible live call of the go-ahead goal with time winding down was capped off with a perfect mic-drop, just to cap it all off, and there’s a real argument to be made that it was the best we’ve seen thus far.To make this moment even more incredible, Giralt admitted that he shouted “goal” before Lautaro even headed the ball.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”Yesterday I almost made a mistake, but it ended up working out well. I shouted “goal” before Lautaro even headed the ball. They’re still giving me [expletive] for it,” he said in text translated to English.His call (or prediction, I guess) worked out perfectly, and the longtime announcer even retweeted the interview on his X account. Thankfully, he can laugh about the moment now.This article originally appeared on For The Win: Pablo Giralt’s tearful broadcast call of Argentina’s comeback vs. England is absolute cinema
