Argentina celebrates 2022 World Cup triumph and Messi's legacy

Argentina World Cup 2022 Lionel Messi Lionel Scaloni Copa America

Argentina's national team secured its third FIFA World Cup title at the 2022 tournament in Qatar, defeating France in a dramatic penalty shoot‑out (4‑2). Captain Lionel Messi, who equalised Diego Maradona’s legacy, was named the tournament’s best player for the second time, having previously won the award in 2014. The victory followed a strong group‑stage performance that included a win over Poland. Coach Lionel Scaloni, once doubted by critics, guided the Albiceleste to additional success, including the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 Finalissima.

Messi, now 39 and playing for Inter Miami, continues to lead the team on the road to the upcoming 2026 World Cup, where Argentina will face Spain in the final.
