(FILES) Argentina's captain and forward #10 Lionel Messi (R) holds the FIFA World Cup Trophy following the trophy ceremony after Argentina won the Qatar 2022 World Cup final football match between Argentina and France at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, north of Doha on December 18, 2022. After four failed attempts, the fifth time was the charm, and Lionel Messi, one of the greatest footballers in history, was finally able to lift the World Cup, leading Argentina to their third title, despite the team’s struggles, which included having to overcome a surprise defeat in their opening match against Saudi Arabia (2–1).
