France triumphed over Argentina 1-0 in a heated quarter-final match at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the only goal. Following the match, tensions boiled over into a mass brawl involving players and staff from both sides, leading to a red card for French midfielder Enzo Millot. Coach Thierry Henry expressed frustration over the situation, stating he did not agree with the red card and felt unable to control the post-match chaos, which he described as undesirable. The animosity stems from recent derogatory chants by Argentine players regarding the French squad, which heightened the rivalry. Despite the victory, Henry's anger was palpable as Millot's suspension for the semi-finals against Egypt was confirmed. Argentine captain Nicolas Otamendi criticized the French players for celebrating near their families, adding to the already charged atmosphere.
