World Cup 2022: Thousands of Argentine fans are expected at Lusail Stadium
The 22nd tournament final will take place in Qatar on Sunday, and the entire world will be watching. Argentine fans are anticipated to be out in force in Lusail Stadium's hallways to celebrate the event and cheer on their team when they take on France.
Thus, 30,000 Albiceleste fans should occupy the stands of the stadium, compared to just 3,000 French supporters, according to L'Équipe.
Argentina, like France, is aiming for a third World Cup victory having won it in 1978 and 1986 to move up to fourth place overall on the all-time list.
The 36-year drought for football's top award since Maradona's series of masterful displays in Mexico in 1986 would end with this victory.
As a result, Maradona became a national hero in Argentina and a soccer icon. At this point, Messi seems to be at that level.
In leading Argentina to the World Cup final, Messi has drawn parallels to Maradona. He has scored five goals, assisted on three more, and thrilled his team's army of fans, who have flocked to Qatar in numbers that are really only rivaled by Moroccans.
