One year later… Argentina won their third FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022 after a rollercoaster run that saw them lose their first game to Saudi Arabia but bounce back with an emotional victory over Mexico and a return to form against Poland.
In the knockout rounds, Australia was no push over, but Argentina won 2-1, then 2-2 and later 4-3 on penalty kicks to eliminate the Netherlands, and then a commanding 3-0 win in the semifinal against Croatia.
Then in the World Cup final against France it was a memorable and to many the best final ever played. A 3-3 draw that saw Argentina finally take it on penalty kicks.
