Messi says luck was on their side in the last World Cup

Lionel Messi recalled Argentina's victory at the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar. The "Albiceleste" defeated the French national team in the final via a penalty shootout.

Messi was recognized as the best player of the tournament. "Last time, luck was on our side: we played better in the matches against the Netherlands and France, but it all came down to penalty shootouts.

Fortunately, we had Emiliano Martinez, who brought us the victory. However, in penalty shootouts, sometimes luck favors the opponent.

Winning the World Cup is extremely difficult," said the 38-year-old Messi in an interview with ESPN. The next World Cup is scheduled to take place in June-July 2026 across venues in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
