Os capitães de Argentina e Marrocos no Sky Costanera, em Santiago, um dia antes da final do Mundial Sub-20.
A ideia era recriar a foto de Palmer e de Dembele em Nova York essa cena para o Mundial Sub-20.
Com isso, os protagonistas da final foram a um ponto icônico da cidade onde se disputa a decisão — neste caso o SkyCostanera, em Santiago, prédio mais alto da América do Sul.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino on the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva:
"I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva. Aged 28, Diogo has enjoyed a fantastic career to date and had many great years ahead of him, while his brother André was thriving at FC Penafiel - they will both be so sorely missed by all those who knew them and by the worldwide football community.
On behalf of FIFA and the wider football family, my thoughts are with their family and friends, as well as everyone at Liverpool FC, FC Penafiel and the Portuguese Football Federation. May they rest in peace."
