Watch! Argentina return to a rousing welcome after winning FIFA World Cup 2022

World champions Argentina arrived in Buenos Aires on Tuesday after winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and as expected, the national football team led by Lionel Messi received a rousing welcome from the airport itself.

It was non-other than 35-year-old Messi, who held the trophy when the team got off the plane and waved it to his countrymen. The Argentine side was escorted straight to an open-top bus for a parade.

The team’s highly-anticipated return continues several days of nonstop celebration across the country and among fans overseas. 

In probably the wildest final in the tournament’s 92-year history, Argentina won its third World Cup title by beating France 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw.
