Argentina football team coach Lionel Scaloni has thanked Bangladeshi fans for supporting his team.

He expressed his gratitude towards Bangladeshi fans for supporting La Albicelestes while speaking in a pre-match press-conference ahead of Argentina's round of 16 duel against Australia on Sunday in the ongoing Qatar World Cup.

Earlier Argentina Football Federation tweeted three pictures of huge Bangladeshi crowd watching their favorite team play and thanked them.
