Lusail, 18 December 2022 – Messi lifts the sky, Argentina lifts the world.
For ninety-three minutes Lionel Messi had one hand on the cup, for another twenty the ghost of Mbappé dragged it away, and for the last penalty of the night Emiliano Martínez clutched it to his chest like a rosary. So ended the greatest final of modern times and so began the legend of the Argentina 2022 World Champion side—an eleven stitched into Albiceleste stripes and, now, into a minimalist Argentina 2022 print that will hang forever above asados from Salta to Ushuaia.
Victory was born in defeat. After Saudi Arabia stunned them in the group stage, Ángel Di María told reporters, “Losing stripped us of fear.” Lionel Scaloni rewired his formation, enlisted 21-year-old Enzo Fernández, and trusted Julián Álvarez’s lungs more than Lautaro Martínez’s résumé. They closed ranks around Messi, who drifted like silk yet killed like steel—five goals before the final, two during it, and a no-look pass to Nahuel Molina that split Croatia open in the semi-final.
The final itself was a novella: Di María in tears during the anthem, Theo Hernández spun like a compass needle on Álvarez’s pressing, Messi scoring from the spot, Di María finishing a counter-attack older Argentines compared to the ’86 break against England. Then came Mbappé: a penalty, a volley, and a hush over every café on Avenida Corrientes. Messi scored again in extra-time—“I thought the world had paused,” he admitted—before Mbappé’s second penalty forced the shoot-out.
Anecdotes adorn the story. Emiliano Martínez practised penalties by painting a small black dot on his garage wall; he still carries the marker in his washbag. Alexis Mac Allister’s father, champion with Boca in 1992, messaged him at 01:38 Doha time: Remember you’re a kid from La Pampa—play like you’re barefoot. Rodrigo De Paul reportedly ran 15.4 kilometres in the final, more than any player in a World Cup match since data began in 1966.
Their collective image now lives in a soccer poster you can almost hear: Martínez in emerald atop the table-football rods, the back four of Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; a midfield triangle that reads Fernández–De Paul–Mac Allister; the holy trinity of Di María right, Álvarez centre, Messi left. Rendered in cool blues and whites, it is football wall artequal parts nostalgia and geometry.
Take home this Argentina football memory—hang the Argentina 2022 print where daylight can find it, and let the shadows of Lusail dance on your wall each afternoon. Champions deserve a frame; legends demand a place in your living-room XI.
