Today, December 20, the Government of Argentina declared a day off. The whole country plunged into a continuous carnival, hundreds of thousands of fans saluted the heroes of Qatar-2022 along the bus route.
In one of the streets, Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, Niclas Otamendi, Leandro Paredes and Ángel Di María only at the last moment managed to dodge a low hanging cable that was stretched across the street. Otherwise, one of them could fall from the ceiling. But not in vain these are the best footballers in the world, with the reaction of these guys everything is in order.
On Sunday, the Argentina national team defeated defending world champions France (3:3; 4:2 on penalties) in the 2022 World Cup final in Doha. Thus, Argentina became world champion for the third time. Especially the whole world was worried about Lionel Messi, for the 36-year-old genius it was, it seemed, the last championship.
Although at the peak of success, Leo said that he had not yet played enough for the national team. But in four years he will be 39, participating in the 2026 World Cup at that age is hard to believe. This statement was clearly made in a state of euphoria.
