It wasn’t a cakewalk forArgentina to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup. After suffering a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in their first encounter, they were on the verge of elimination very quickly. Nevertheless, victories against Mexico and Poland helped them advance to the Knockout Round.

Undoubtedly, Lionel Messi was a huge reason why Argentina was able to win the World Cup for the third time in their history. The 35-year-old was held in very high esteem by his La Albiceleste teammates, but none more thanRodrigo De Paul,who has been dubbed Messi’s ā€œbodyguardā€ due to his close relationship with the superstar forward.

They worked well together, and it proved to be a major factor in Argentina’s third World Cup victory. The Final triumph over Francejust demonstrated the great unity and camaraderie that exists throughout Lionel Scaloni’s squad.
