Argentina took part in an open-top bus parade just hours after winning the World Cup. In what will be the first in many celebrations and parades, the Argentines were driven down Lusail Boulevard near the stadium to mark Qatar National Day. Argentina won the World Cup after beating defending champions France 4-2 on penalties, following a dramatic 3-3 draw after extra time. Argentina keeper Emiliano Martínez saved Kingsley Coman's penalty and Aurélien Tchouaméni fired wide to give Argentina their first world title since 1986, and third overall. Lionel Messi scored twice in the match before netting his penalty as he won the World Cup in what is likely to be his last tournament. The Argentina squad are expected to return home to Buenos Aires where the celebrations will continue.
