Fireworks at Lusail stadium as Argentina wins WC

Fireworks illuminated the night sky above Doha's Lusial stadium as the 2022 World Cup drew to a close with Argentina's historic victory against France. Lionel Messi has lifted the World Cup trophy, the biggest prize in soccer and the only one that had eluded him until now.

The 35-year-old star, who was given a Qatari robe during the prize ceremony, celebrated on stage with his teammates as Argentina fans roared in the stands. Argentina has won the World Cup for the third time after beating defending champion France in a penalty shootout.
