It was a night of celebration for the Argentina team, the coach, and Lionel Messi after Argentina won their third world cup title in a penalty shootout over France 4-2 in penalties. The world champions celebrated their world cup win with Sergio Aguero, Javier Zanetti, Luquitas Rodrguez, Germán Beder, Alfredo Montes de Oca, and Roberto Galati.
A fan, Geronimo Momo Benavides, was also called up by the Argentina team after the team beat Netherlands in the quarter-finals for his comments on Twitter. Clarin says the Argentina team also celebrated by having Milanesa, a traditional Argentine beef dish, along with French fries and fried eggs.
Argentine full-back Nicolas Tagliafico talks about riding in the micro convertible after winning the world cup at Lusail Stadium. The fact that we beat Mexico made me think we’d win the world championship. We told ourselves we’d come out on top that day when we beat them. As a result, we became very strong. After I won, I asked my friends how much I weighed. I was thinking all the time as we came in the micro convertible,” Tagliafico said in the video streamed by the Argentina Football Federation.

This video from the Argentina Football Federation’s Afaestudio on Twitch shows Argentina players singing Argentina fan chants in Spanish before calling Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni, including Marcos Acuna, Tagliafico, Juan Foyth, Geronimo Rulli, Guido Rodriguez, and German Pezzella. In between his speeches, the world cup winning coach got cheers from the players. I don’t think we’ve fallen yet. We hope we can have one of the best Christmases ever. I’m celebrating like one more fan. When we lost to Arabia, we felt the support of the fans, and that’s special. So far, we haven’t fallen. In spite of the fact that it may only be a few days of joy for a country that so desperately needs it. Scaloni responded to Tagliafico in the video, “We will spend New Year’s Eve and Christmas together.”.
Roberto Ayala, Argentina’s assistant coach, and former defender, spoke about his experiences later in the evening. “I still do not believe what has happened, what has been experienced. The path was important, particularly in terms of manners. As a result of their efforts, the football players have taken the team forward. Despite complicated situations, they were able to turn them around and avoid falling. There is a strong sense of belonging among members of this group. Having the opportunity to touch the trophy of the World Cup was a great honor for me. It is a privilege for me. As a fan from another place,” said Ayala.
According to Clarin, some players stopped drinking soda except for the traditional Argentinean coffee drink Mate for six months.
They called Argentina fan Geronima Momo Benavides, who had been at every game Argentina played in Qatar before he was banned by FIFA for tweeting about FIFA. The players danced with Benavides. He tweeted his displeasure after Argentina beat Netherlands on penalties in the quarter-final. We’ve got two huge eggs! All the people who wanted to screw us up screwed us up. FIFA wanted to screw things up! He had written “Goodbye Holland” on Twitter after the match.
