Argentina fans spilled out of Lusail Stadium and into song as they dreamed alongside Lionel Messi that this could finally be the year the fabled star hoists the World Cup trophy.
Messi led Argentina to a 3-0 semi-final victory over Croatia on Tuesday (December thirteenth) to secure a spot in the World Cup final on Sunday (December eighteenth) to be hosted in the same stadium.
Fans sang of Messi and Argentina great Diego Maradona as they celebrated the win just after midnight Wednesday (December fourteenth) in the shadow of the massive arena that was packed with nearly ninety thousand fans.
