But the journey was anything but easy. Argentina suffered a shock defeat against Saudi Arabia, battled through a fiery quarter-final against the Netherlands and watched Messi dance around Croatia’s defence. Then came an unforgettable World Cup final against Kylian Mbappé and France. Six goals. Extra time. A penalty shootout. One of the most dramatic football matches ever played. Discover how Lionel Messi finally lifted the World Cup trophy, why Argentina’s victory meant so much and whether the little magician could still have one more chapter left to write at the 2026 World Cup. 🇦🇷⚽ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special Football For Kids episode, we follow the Argentina legend from his very first World Cup appearance as an 18-year-old wonderkid in Germany in 2006, all the way to the dramatic road towards Russia 2018. Discover how Messi scored a goal and created another on his World Cup debut, why he could only watch from the bench as Argentina were knocked out by Germany, and how he returned four years later as one of the most famous footballers on the planet. We explore the buzzing vuvuzelas of South Africa 2010, the crushing defeat to Germany, and Messi’s magical performances in Brazil in 2014, where Argentina came agonisingly close to lifting the trophy. There are dramatic late goals, penalty shootouts, heartbreak and a brilliant hat-trick in Ecuador that helped rescue Argentina’s World Cup dream.
