Social networks in Argentina and then the whole South American region exploded after the short film was released. In the film, three families in Argentina admire and talk about the three biggest stars in the sky – representing the three World Cup championships that “La Albiceleste” has won.
The first family consists of father and daughter, talking about the first star representing the 1978 World Cup championship title.
The father said that this is a very difficult star to find because it must shine in the dark night, referring to the difficulty of winning the first championship, officially making Argentina famous with stars like Mario Kempes, Daniel Passarella… on the world football map.

Many people were worried that after a period of brilliant sublimation with three top titles including the 2021 Copa America championship, the 2022 Intercontinental Super Cup title and the 2022 World Cup championship, “La Albiceleste” would quickly fade away like the Italians did after winning the 2006 World Cup.

Messi scored twice in a 2-0 win over Peru
It is not difficult to recognize the difference between Argentina and Italy, or rather, the way the two football countries do things. Lionel Scaloni was just an unknown leader when he accepted to lead the Argentina team after the 2018 World Cup “incident”.
However, the 45-year-old strategist’s name quickly became famous when he turned the Argentina team into a united team, a real family, in which the superstar duo Lionel Messi and Angel di Maria were like people. oldest brother.
Not only did Lionel Scaloni successfully convince Messi to return to the team after many times announcing his retirement, he also built an Argentina that operates harmoniously and cohesively.

Barcelona during its golden period won 2 Champions Leagues and 3 La Liga titles in just four seasons.
Pep Guardiola, in his first season leading the Catalan team, also won the historic “sixteenth cup” in the 2008-2009 season. That was the time when the quartet Busquet-Xavi-Iniesta-Messi formed a true “diamond” both in tactical combat on the field and on the sparkling crown of the No. 1 team in Europe and the world.
Messi is qualified to talk about the old Barcelona and the current Argentina team, not only because he is a pivotal member of both of those powerful teams.
He affirmed that “La Albiceleste” is approaching the results of Barcelona in the past when they play better and are ready to overcome all the most difficult barriers.

Once he got rid of all the pressure of achievement, Lionel Messi became more and more attached to his hometown team and was an important driving force to help the South American team achieve all success.
After historic defeats in three major finals (World Cup 2014, Copa America 2015, Copa America 2016), Argentina knew how to explode with Lionel Scaloni and Messi, conquering three major titles in a row to fill their name. history.
Argentina’s achievements have been unparalleled since winning the 2022 World Cup
2024 is full of competitions in which world champion Argentina will have to continue to assert its role and position.
The South American World Cup qualifiers are actually only 1/3 of the way through and it’s still too early to talk about anything in the future.

That is also the time when Argentina must show all its abilities, of course, still under the guidance of the genius player, the most outstanding figure in world football in the 21st century, Lionel Messi.
