ARGENTINA’S Wags left their posh hotel following a late-night power cut, it has been revealed.
The likes of Jorgelina Cardoso, the wife of Angel Di Maria, Linda Raff, Alejandro Gomez’s other half, and Agustina Gandolfo, the wife of Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez, were all staying at the Waterfront Hotel in Qatar ahead of Sunday’s final.
But their glorious stay in the luxury complex was brought to a sudden end following the power outage.
A source close to the Wags told The Mail: “The Argentines have paid a lot of money and do not expect to have to sit in darkness in their hotel rooms – and there were safety issues too.
“Many of them have young children and babies and after talking to the players and other staff, they decided to move.”
