When Argentina defeated France on Sunday at the Lusail stadium, Lionel Messi appeared to be on top of the world and the Argentina locker room table, as evidenced by a video posted by teammate Nicolás Otamendi.
Lionel Messi dances on top of table after World Cup victory
As Messi entered the locker room with the World Cup trophy, the entire Argentina team was in a joyful mood. He then went on to climb on top of the table as the room exploded in applause. Lautaro Martinez will soon join the Argentina captain as they both danced on top of the trophy-laden table.
In other scenes of the film, the Argentina players could be seen singing nonstop as everyone from Angel Di Maria to Sergio Aguero appeared on screen and spoke briefly.
A Chucky doll from the film Child’s Play was sitting on top of the table with a beer on its lap while the players eventually became visible building a railroad and dancing.
Messi expressed his excitement at the prospect of taking the World Cup trophy back to Argentina after the game. Messi stated he had “craved” this moment for such a long time in a press conference following the final versus France.
I felt that this World Cup was the one, and I knew God would give it to me, the man remarked.
Messi continued, “It’s finally here. It took so long.” Although we went through a lot of pain, we succeeded. Want to see this crazy in person while I’m in Argentina.
For Argentina, Messi controlled a World Cup, matching what Maradona accomplished in 1986. He not only led his side out of the gloom that followed a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia in the group stage, but he also scored seven goals while accepting the burden.
