Argentina's path to the top of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 was a road paved with hardship. Despite Messi scoring the opener, Argentina's shock 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the group stage left the Albiceleste facing an unthinkable early exit. But consecutive 2-0 victories against Mexico and Poland put them back on track, with Messi breaking the deadlock against the Mexicans and Argentina then securing qualification against Lewandowski and co. The final against France, was destined to go down in history as the most exciting FIFA World Cup final of modern history. At the Lusail Stadium, Argentina reached a two-goal advantage thanks to Messi’s penalty strike and a goal from Di Maria. Kylian Mbappé brought the game level before Messi found a second goal on 108th minute of the final. Mbappé would add another one to tie the match and the title was settled in penalties. With Lionel Messi converting his first kick for Argentina, the Albiceleste prevailed with 4-2 and came away with the crown. In his final FIFA World Cup match, Messi somehow managed to climb even higher to the football Pantheon. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Leo Messi: 39 years old, 5’7, forward, and club Inter Miami CF 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷You: Your his child!
