The quarterfinals between men's soccer France and Argentina at the 2024 Paris Olympics were marred by chaos.
In the quarterfinals held on the 3rd (Korea time), the French Olympic team, led by coach Thierry Henry, won 1-0 and reached the semifinals.
This day's game was a game that had been full of luck even before the start. Argentina and France have a representative bitter relationship in the history of soccer. In particular, at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the two countries faced each other in the final, and Argentina won, and Lionel Messi became a global topic as he relaxed his World Cup victory and enjoyed 'Last Dance'.
At that time, Argentine players shouted chants (courtesy) mocking France, causing a stir. Chants that are sung like songs contain racist and provocative content, which is also an unsavoury issue.
Argentina caused a stir by singing the same French mocking slogan even after the Copa America final held just before the Paris Olympics. Argentina's players, who won 1-0 in the final match against Colombia and won 16 times in total, sang another chant disparaging of the French national team on the bus back to their accommodation, and Enzo Fernandez once broadcasted it live on his SNS, causing criticism.

As a result, Argentine players exploded, and the players of the two teams quickly fell into a mess, tangled up with each other on the ground and fighting each other. The referee brought out a red card to Miro for causing the violence. Miro will not be able to play in the semifinals.
French police were also urgently deployed in the stands to prepare for any unrest.
French media 'Parimatch' conveyed Henri's uncomfortable feelings. Coach Henri said, `We need to see if it's reasonable for Miro to get a red card. There's no way this situation is goodThe red card doesn't help. I pay tribute to Argentina, but I don't want to talk about the red card anymore."
