Argentina has a chance to create history

In the 96-year history of the World Cup, there have been only two teams which have won the trophy twice consecutively. The first team to do this was Italy, which did this in 1934 and 1938. Whereas Brazil had won the title of 1958 and 1962 editions. Argentina can become only the third such team by defeating Spain. Let us remind you that in the final of the 2022 World Cup, Argentina defeated France 4-2 in the penalty shootout.
