The heart touching video was shared by the Argentine Football Association on Christmas Eve
Argentina Football Association (AFA) with a touching video on Christmas Eve. AFA has shared a video of a child lifting the World Cup from a gift box.
“Thank you Papa Lionel, the most precious gift has already arrived home. Congratulations to Argentina,” the video was captioned.
In the video, the child, who appears to be four or five years old, runs down the stairs of the house and opens the gift box. The box is opened very carefully. When the world cup is finally in hand, the child kisses it and says ‘thank you papa Lionel’.
Santa Claus is known as Papa Noel in Argentina. But after winning the World Cup, this time he is reading along with Lionel Messi, the captain of the national football team.
Messi played a crucial role in Argentina winning Qatar World Cup. He found the target seven times, including a double in the final. Messi also paved the way for three goals. Messi defeated France in penalty shootout. Both teams scored three goals each in regular time and extra time.
Messi was also chosen as the star of the World Cup. It is the first time in the tournament’s history that a player has won the Golden Ball twice. Before this, Messi received the award in the 2014 World Cup. Argentina lost to Germany by a one-sided goal in the final that day.
