Willy Caballero says he received death threats after making a mistake while playing for Argentina at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Just after half-time in Argentina’s second group-stage match against eventual finalists Croatia, Caballero misjudged a lobbed pass over forward Ante Rebic.
Rebic seized on the loose ball and fired it into the top corner, setting Croatia on their way to a damaging 3-0 victory.

“With the mistake for Croatia’s goal I went to lift it to give it to Toto Salvio, but I hit the ground,” Caballero explained to TNT Sports.
