Signature moment
The 2022 World Cup final against France is genuinely one of the most unhinged sporting events in human history. Argentina were 2-0 up with ten minutes left, basically already celebrating, and then Mbappé scored twice in 97 seconds to level it. Then it went to extra time. Then Mbappé completed his hat-trick to make it 3-3. Then it went to penalties. Dibu Martínez saved two, Argentina won, Messi wept, an entire country lost their minds simultaneously, and the internet basically broke for 24 hours. If you need a reason to care about this team, just watch the last 15 minutes of that game.
The ones to watch
- Lionel MessiFWDThe greatest of all time, the man who finally got his World Cup, and somehow still the most terrifying player on the pitch when it matters most.
- Emiliano MartínezGKPart goalkeeper, part chaos agent — Dibu is genuinely one of the most entertaining humans in world football and a big reason Argentina are champions.
- Enzo FernándezMIDThe next-generation engine of this squad, Enzo runs the midfield like he was born to carry Argentina forward into a post-Messi era — which he basically was.
- Julián ÁlvarezFWDQuietly one of the most lethal forwards in the world, Julián plays with a relentless hunger that makes defenders deeply uncomfortable.
- Rodrigo De PaulMIDMessi's best friend on the pitch and the guy who makes sure the beautiful football actually happens by doing all the unglamorous work nobody talks about.
