In the end, Argentina won the World Cup by beating France 4-2 in a penalty shootout. And through this, Argentina won the World Cup for the third time after 1978 and 1986.

According to Reuters, thousands of Argentine citizens took to the streets of the capital Buenos Aires after star player Lionel Messi led Argentina defeated defending champions France in a thrilling match played in Qatar in front of about 88,000 fans. At this time they rejoiced.

After winning the World Cup, Santiago, a 13-year-old soccer fan, took to the street in front of his Buenos Aires home to celebrate with his family. The teenage football fan's immediate reaction to becoming the world champion was, 'I can't believe it! It was difficult, but we did it, thanks to Messi.'

With flags, hats and the country's iconic blue-and-white jersey, the Argentines took over downtown Buenos Aires and other iconic spots within minutes of winning the final, Reuters said. At the same time joy, happiness and celebration spread in many other places across the country.

"It was an incredible game, sometimes painful," says Diego Abergelli, 46, from a suburb of Buenos Aires. This team has made people fall in love with them for the first time in decades.

The Latin American team had not won the World Cup since 1986 until yesterday, losing in the final of the tournament against Germany in 2014. But the party's progress has greatly encouraged and cheered Argentina, even though the country is plagued by hyperinflation and an economic crisis. Which has pushed nearly 40 percent of the country's population into poverty.

According to Reuters, the World Cup victory confirmed Lionel Messi as a legend among Argentines. Sunday's match is expected to be his last World Cup appearance for Argentina.
