In full jubilee mode, the winning squad navigated through the massive crowds while cheering, singing, and immortalizing the moment by taking pictures and videos.

On Tuesday morning, local time, Captain Lionel Messi stepped off the plane holding the trophy, followed by the beloved team. Like, true heroes, they walked a red carpet and enjoyed a live music band.

After recharging with good sleep and food, they reunited with their fans, began the much-awaited parade, and continued celebrating Argentina’s win against France during the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

This is the first time in over thirty years that Argentinians get to flood the nation’s streets after a World Cup win.

The last time the country had the trophy was when late soccer player legendary Diego Maradona led the team to victory in Mexico in 1986.

In a nerve-wracking match in Qatar, Argentina and France faced off for over 90 minutes in a sporting event that finally gave the win to the South American country. Led by Lionel Messi, the Argentinian team was able to break the 3-3 score on penalties, winning 4-2.

In the first 80 minutes, the world thought that Argentina had secured the trophy; however, France had other plans. The French team was unwilling to give in, as they scored last-minute goals that made everyone’s jaws drop. Messi met his match with Kylian Mbappé —one of the key players of the Qatar World Cup — who scored enough points to force the penalty shootout.

The running around the court was over, and now each team’s goalkeepers had to do their thing. Argentine goalkeeper Dibu Martínez was able to stop France from taking home the title, helping his white and blue team to take the victory.

After decades of trying and five different World Cups, Argentina has reclaimed its place as a powerhouse in soccer, and Messi has obtained the coveted Cup that his fans asked for.
