Argentina defeated France in a legendary 2022 World Cup final to claim its first title in 36 years Sunday in Lusail, Qatar. The victory gave the South American nation its third championship in the history of the men’s World Cup.
Known as one of the most competitive squads in the world, La Albiceleste boasts ample success on the global stage historically. Led by superstars such as Diego Maradona, and more recently Lionel Messi, Argentina has produced some of the best teams of all time, which in turn has resulted in quite a few deep runs at the World Cup.
Despite a hat trick by gifted French forward Kylian Mbappé, the Argentine team outlasted France in penalty kicks Sunday to capture soccer’s crown jewel for the third time.
