Argentina won the FIFA World Cup trophy for the first time in 36 years, and 'football god' Lionel Messi decorated his last World Cup victory with victory.
In the 2022 Qatar World Cup final held at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, Argentina faced France 2-2 in the first and second half and 3-3 until overtime, then won the championship by winning 4-2 in the penalty shootout.
Having won the 1978 tournament at home and the 1986 tournament in Mexico, Argentina had the pleasure of adding a trophy after 36 years.
In the World Cup, Europe (Italy in 2006, Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018) maintained supremacy in the four tournaments since Brazil in the Korea-Japan tournament in 2002, and the South American team won the championship in 20 years.
Messi, who has been active as a member of the Argentine national team since 2005 and finished runner-up in the 2014 Brazil tournament, the best result in the World Cup, finally added a 'World Cup victory' career to his career.
On the other hand, France, the winner of the 2018 World Cup dreaming of becoming the third player in history to win the World Cup “twice in a row,” following Italy in 1934 and 1938 and Brazil in 1958 and 1962, was content with finishing runner-up without getting past the last game. I had to.
