To become the World Cup 2022 finalists, both sides have given it their all. Despite this, Argentina won the FIFA World Cup following a tie at the buzzer that required penalties. Messi and Mbappé converted the first penalties for their respective sides. Emi Martinez, the goalkeeper for Argentina, stopped a shot from Kingsley Coman, and when France’s Aurelien Tchouameni missed, Gonzalo Montiel was able to score the game-winning goal. He successfully converted the penalty to the left, setting up a riot of cheers.
Since 2006, Europe has won four consecutive World Cups, but that streak came to an end. Brazil won the last South American championship, which took place in Asia in 2002 when Japan and South Korea jointly hosted the event.
How many times has France won the World Cup?
The France national football team has already won the FIFA World Cup twice, in 1998 and 2018. In 2022, they’ll go for a third title.
It took France over seven decades to win the FIFA World Cup for the first time, the 1998 edition on home soil, despite their extensive tournament history and longstanding reputation as one of Europe’s top sides.
Les Bleus were one of just six teams—alongside Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, and Uruguay—to have won the coveted crown several times after ending their World Cup curse in Paris. They also became one of the six teams to do so in 2018.
France has already won the FIFA World Cup twice, first at home in 1998 and once in Russia in 2018.
Who wins the World Cup 2022?
Some facts!!!
Argentina and France each have two FIFA World Cup victories, but Argentina has the advantage in the head-to-head competition thanks to its six victories, three losses, and three ties. One of the most anticipated sporting events is the World Cup 2022 final. Because it would be Lionel Messi’s final opportunity to add a World Cup to his trophy case, the FIFA World Cup final 2022 stands out even more. The reigning champions France stand in the way of the Argentine icon winning the dream cup.
Intriguingly, the first-ever encounter between Argentina and France took place in Uruguay during the 1930 World Cup group stage. The game was won 1-0 by Argentina. The 81st-minute goal by Luis Monti led to France’s early elimination. When the two teams reconnected in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, France lost to Argentina 2-1 and was eliminated from the group stage.
After Daniel Passarella gave Argentina the lead in the first half, Michel Platini tied the score for France in the 61st minute. But Leopoldo Luque’s goal in the 74th minute was the game-winner.
The two teams first faced each other in the knockout rounds of a tournament in the FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018. Although history favored Argentina, the French squad fought back and won a seven-goal thriller.
Has Messi won a World Cup?
Notwithstanding being regarded as one of the all-time greats in the sport, Lionel Messi never won the World Cup until the World Cup 2022 final. He has won the Ballon d’Or seven times, La Liga 10 times, and the UEFA Champions League four times. Argentina’s 2021 Copa America victory was his first major international championship, but Argentina’s 2014 position as runner-up to Germany is the closest he has gotten to winning a World Cup.
