La Albiceleste won the World Cup for the third time and at GOAL we show who the top scorers are in this competition.
Argentina He achieved the maximum glory of national team football by being crowned champion in Qatar 2022, after a thrilling final against France, which ended 3-3 in 120 minutes and had to be resolved on penalties, which the Albiceleste won 4-2 . And, how could it be otherwise, the team was led by its great idol and hero, Lionel Messi.
For the Flea, it may have been the last chance to get the one title that was missing and the one that revealed it. But on a personal level, he had another goal, achieved in the semi-finals: to become the Argentine footballer with the most goals in the World Cup. How much was he supposed to be? With four he managed to reach Gabriel Batistuta, who scored 10 goals between the United States 94, France 98 and Korea-Japan 2002. But with the penalty against Croatia, he achieved eleventh and finished with 13, after the double against the Gauls.
The Flea’s path was devastating: only against Poland, in the game that missed the first of three penalties, he did not convert. Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and France in duplicate were the six victims.
