According to Olé, after Argentina's loss to Spain, Montiel's girlfriend posted a message of support for him.

This time, Montiel didn't become a hero like in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, when all of Argentina transformed into Gonzalo Montiel. However, in his playing time against Spain in the World Cup final, he truly gave his all. The River Plate right-back held nothing back on the right flank, winning important duels against Cucurella and Baena who were active on his side. Despite the painful loss, he left MetLife Stadium with his head held high. His partner showcased this moment with a heartfelt message, acknowledging everything the number 4 player did while wearing the Argentina national team jersey in the World Cup.

Karina Nakuchi wrote on her social media account: "A warrior, always stepping up in the toughest times, never disappointing. Thank you for letting me be close to you on your journey, it's an honor to be by your side, my love."

As messages from Argentina's players and their families flooded social media, various tones and expressions continued to emerge. Nakuchi did not cause any controversy this time, but instead showed appreciation for "Cachete". Montiel came to this tournament with an injury, and there were even doubts due to physical issues left after his half-season with River Plate, but he ultimately earned a spot on the roster and played an important role whether starting or coming on as a substitute.

Nakuchi concluded by writing: "I am proud to see you become part of a great history. I love you with my life, and much more than that."

Montiel played in 6 of the 8 matches in this World Cup, not appearing in the group stage matches against Austria and Jordan, accumulating 189 minutes of play. The final against Spain was his longest participation, where he played for 58 minutes.
