After a pretty spectacular game — one that ended in over half an hour of extra time and penalties — Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Playing against France, the winning goal was scored by Gonzalo Montiel during penalties, after the game itself ended in an equal scoring of 3-3. Despite France losing the game, the man of the match was undoubtedly 23-year-old Kylian Mbappé, who scored every single one of France’s three goals. Argentina’s first two goals were scored by Lionel Messi, with the third goal scored by Ángel Di María.
The 2022 World Cup marked the first one since Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona died in 2020, also the last player to win the world cup for Argentina in 1986. As a result, it’s been a pretty special game for the team, and for Argentinian fans all over the world.

Drake has lost $1 million USD on his bet on the final match between Argentina and France at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Prior to the nail-biting game, the musician took to Instagram to share that he put $1 million USD on Argentina winning, which would have given him an estimated payout of $2.75 million USD. Because he placed his bet in the 1×2 market, his bet doesn’t account for extra time in the match — meaning he lost his bet, although Argentina did end up winning the World Cup following a penalty shootout.
Argentina led the game against France 2-0 until the last 10 minutes, when Kylian Mbappé scored a penalty kick, followed by another goal less than two minutes after. In the extra time, each team scored one goal, resulting in a final score of 3-3. Lionel Messi brought his team to victory with a 4-2 score in the penalty shootout.
The news comes just a month after Drake lost $2.6 million USD from betting on UFC fights.

As professional soccer player Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo shared a sweet moment post-FIFA World Cup Win, the world wondered where this love story began.
Messi met Antonela Roccuzzo, the daughter of a supermarket owner, in 1996 after frequenting her city of Rosario, Argentina. Messi and his mate, Lucas Scaglia often visited the town and its hot spots like the shore, which Antonela eventually tagged along for.
Messi was only nine years old at the time, but according to his best mates, he would often write letters claiming that Antonela would one day be his girlfriend. What was once a childlike wonder and a dream of manifesting Antonela soon became reality.
Finally, in 2009 at age 21, he answered a hot question groupies worldwide needed to know on Hat Trick Barça, a well-known soccer program, “Yes, I have a girlfriend. She is in Argentina.”
But shortly after, Messi’s career continued to take off and his once manifested partner, Roccuzzo, began to date someone new — for three years. The pair thought their time together was officially over, as Messi was now a big shot and Roccuzzo was now in school and with the new love of her life.
Until an unfortunate event occurred, Roccuzzo’s friend passed in a car accident and Messi rushed to her side. Proving his love for her was truly eternal, and the pair reconnected. By the 2010 World Cup, Roccuzzo and Messi began to reveal their relationship, but first only to friends.
Their lowkey love became impossible to hide after 2012 when it was revealed that they were expecting their first child after Messi’s team scored a goal against Ecuador. The pair went on to have two more children and as of 2022, have celebrated Messi winning his first World Cup against France.
After winning, the pair shared their intimate moment via the Instagram carousel below.
